Company History

Cor-Bits Coring & Cutting opened its doors for business in March of 1992 from the garage of a residential lease property. Melissa Corbett, a 25-year-old divorcée and entrepreneur, contributed the capital investment with a set of ideas and beliefs to develop a dynamic business and marketing force. While leaders of the community were pushing for commercialization, industrialization and rebirth, Melissa felt a strong will to engage in a market full of opportunity. On numerous occasions, investors rejected her business plans and disparaged her career objectives to reach her vision, but, fittingly, her mind was like concrete - thoroughly mixed and permanently set.

Struggling through five years of vision indifferences and controversial standards, Melissa had created enough financing to enhance growth and expansion opportunities with no finish lines. She studied the laws, theories and practices of her business community and re-registered the Memphis-based company as an LLC in April of 1998 under her sole direction. Melissa began setting the standards for all other concrete pro cutters.

Under high demands, she developed a workforce of cross-trainable employees to form a competitive edge. The newly structured concrete-cutting business began to gain notoriety for exceptional work performances in difficult-to-manage sawing and drilling activities. Cor-Bits’ reputation and work ethic have earned us bid invites worldwide.

Her Biggest Challenge: Fitting into a male-dominated industry and identifying with their psyche.

Her Greatest Achievement: Demonstrating her competence and understanding of the projects.

Her Words of Wisdom: Time becomes the most precious limited resource. Be committed, remain optimistic, strategically plan and own the adaptability trait.

Her Necessary Foundation to Success: As a high achiever, you must find balance to set aside time for investing in your loved ones. She admits she is wiser now!

In July 1997, Cor-Bits purchased a 9,500-square-foot facility on Fletcher Creek Cove, conveniently located off I-40 at Whitten Road. With seven service vans and a large inventory of diamond bits, blades, parts and equipment, no project is too small or too large. Cor-Bits' minimum job is $200 and our maximum is $1.75 million. Cor-Bits also has a location in Jackson, Mississippi, that was established in 2002 with a business opportunity at the Nissan Manufacturing Plant.

Cor-Bits Coring & Cutting is a diversity business and is certified through the Mid South Minority Business Council, the City of Jackson Mississippi Equal Business Opportunity Office, the Central Contractor Registration (for Government opportunities), TDOT and MDOT and with Shelby County Contract Compliance as a Small Locally Owned Woman Business Enterprise. Our workforce is 10-hour OSHA certified, TVTC trained and has many site-specific certifications.
