Premier Concrete Products Inc. will invest up to $10 million to add a precast concrete pipe production unit at its manufacturing facility in Livingston Parish.
According to an announcement from Louisiana Economic Development last week, the expansion will allow the company to address the shortage of precast concrete products and support infrastructure and drainage projects across the southern United States.
The company is expected to create 33 new jobs over the next 10 years while retaining 90 current positions.
The new facility will include a fully automated concrete batching system that can produce multiple pipes and structures simultaneously, high-level curing capabilities and overhead cranes to maximize efficiency. The new unit is expected to be complete and fully operational by the end of the year.
