ABOUT
Welcome to A & B Group, Inc.
We are a chemical & dry bulk transportation company, along with, being experts in Perlite manufacturing. A & B Group, Inc. was founded in 1995 by Burton “Buddy” Baty. As a former driver himself, he has a heart and knowledge of drivers and what it takes to get the job done right. Buddy grew up on a small farm in Southwest Louisiana and was taught that success only comes from dedication, determination, trustworthiness and always doing what is right and fair.
This philosophy helped him grow an internal team of liquid & chemical bulk transportation professionals to direct each division and department into the successful organization it has become today. At A & B our goal is simple, to provide superior service at a fair price and do what’s right, for our staff, driver’s and customers. We have your back.
Who We Are?
A: Perlite is an amorphous volcanic glass that has relatively high water content, typically formed by the hydration of obsidian. It occurs naturally and has the unusual property of greatly expanding when heated sufficiently. It is an industrial mineral and a commercial product useful for its light weight after processing.
