Concrete manufacturer invests $10 million to increase pipe production at its manufacturing facility in Louisiana
Premier Concrete Products, Inc. has announced plans to add a concrete pipe production unit at its manufacturing facility in Livingston Parish, Louisiana. The company, which focuses on pre-cast concrete products, will invest $10 million into the project, generating 33 new jobs in the process. According to the company, the new plant will feature a fully automated concrete batching system, high-level curing capabilities and overhead cranes. Premier Concrete Products hopes the expansion will help it meet the growing demand for precast concrete products and support infrastructure and drainage projects. Operation at the new plant is expected to begin by the end of this year.

Livingston has been our home for many years and we want to continue to grow this community for years to come.”
