Gypsum is a soft mineral used in a variety of construction materials and processes, as well as in fertilizers and soil conditioners. Find gypsum suppliers online for raw gypsum or manufactured products to help your construction, agricultural or gypsum processing business.

Gypsum has many uses, so contact a gypsum management and supply company for advice on its applications or products available. Know your options when buying gypsum and finding a gypsum company selling any gypsum products, including:
  1. Construction equipment such as drywall, gypsum wallboard and gypsum dryers.
  2. Industrial chemical suppliers of gypsum for agricultural use.
  3. Gypsum used for medical, surgical and dental purposes.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Use gypsum materials in your construction project


Gypsum is a key ingredient in drywall, wallboard, plaster and some kinds of cement. Look for gypsum manufacturers specializing in production of construction materials to buy these key elements for any new building.

I recommend: Gypsum Products is a supplier of drywall materials and accessories based in Colorado. See their selection of drywall products, and browse their website for other construction items like steel framing, insulation and fasteners. Gypsum Management & Supply is one of the largest nationwide distributors of drywall, acoustical ceilings and other specialty gypsum building materials.

Buy gypsum fertilizer from a gypsum management and supply company


Find an agricultural gypsum supplier for gypsum powder that you can use as fertilizer. Buy in bulk for large agricultural uses, or in smaller sacks for use on home lawns or golf courses.

I recommend: Diamond K specializes in high quality gypsum products. They sell fine gypsum powder in bulk for combination fertilizer/irrigation agricultural operations to help increase crop yield, and also in smaller amounts for turf application. For help applying gypsum to your fields, check out Diamond K's applicator, a tool that blends water and gypsum powder into a solution to spread over your crops.

Find specialty gypsum manufacturers


Because gypsum is such a versatile material, gypsum manufacturers have found new ways to use the mineral or improve upon standard uses of gypsum. Look for companies that have engineered new uses for gypsum.

I recommend: AW Gypsum Products sells powdered gypsum under the Cal-CM Plus brand that is comprised of undiluted calcium sulfate, creating a finer gypsum powder than is standardly available. Quiet Solution sells QuietRock, a soundproof drywall product that hangs and finishes like normal drywall. Use this drywall to construct buildings where quiet is essential. BK Giuliani Corporation sells a variety of gypsum plasters for use in many fields of application, including surgical, dental and filler.
