About Short Mountain Silica

At Short Mountain Silica, we believe strong partnerships are built on consistency, responsiveness, and trust.

Our customers come to us for quality silica products, and stay with us because we’re committed to helping them succeed over the long term.

Based in Mooresburg, Tennessee, we produce high-purity silica materials for industrial, construction, golf, turf, and specialty applications. Since the late 1980s, we’ve grown by focusing on what matters most: dependable products, practical support, and people who stand behind every order.

Who We Are

Built on People and Performance

We’re proud of our team and the relationships we build with customers, suppliers, and communities.

From daily production to customer service and logistics, our people are focused on getting the details right.

That hands-on, customer-first approach is a big part of who we are, and a key reason customers rely on us year after year.

Advanced Capabilities, Practical Results

Our operation is built on a high-quality sandstone resource and supported by advanced processing capabilities that allow us to deliver clean, consistent, application-ready materials.

In simple terms: we transform high-quality sandstone into high-purity silica products engineered for real-world performance.

Customers see the outcome in the form of reliable chemistry, dependable sizing, and consistent behavior in their processes.

We continue to invest in process capability and improvement so we can meet evolving customer requirements across a wide range of industries.  That includes an R&D team focused on process improvement and new application development, supporting improved product performance, expanding use opportunities, and bringing customers better solutions.

Integrated Logistics Support

Short Mountain Silica is supported by our own trucking operation, which allows us to coordinate product and delivery as one integrated service. With a diverse fleet, including dump trucks, end-dumps, pneumatic tanks, hopper bottoms, flatbeds, and van trailers, we support everything from one-time shipments to high-volume recurring lanes.

This logistics capability helps customers get reliable delivery, better coordination, and a supply partner that can scale with their needs.

We supply a broad portfolio of silica products, including:

  • Industrial sand and silica flour
  • Glass and ceramic raw materials
  • Construction and masonry sands
  • Golf and sports turf sands and blends

With flexible packaging and integrated logistics support, we help customers align product, packaging, and delivery to how their operations actually run.

Our Commitment

We know our customers need more than material.  They need a partner that is reliable, capable, and easy to work with.

That’s what we aim to deliver every day:

High-quality silica products, strong support, and reliable execution that earns long-term customer trust.
