Automation, Innovation and Future of Precast Concrete Manufacturing
My background runs deep in the precast concrete industry.
In 1917, my great-grandfather began producing concrete
products in the midwestern United States and my grandfather
carried on that tradition; ultimately with his son's building
one of the largest precast machinery businesses in the
world. I’ve had the good fortune of a front row seat to the
highs and lows of four generations devoted to both the
manufacturing of concrete products and the machinery
used to do so. As the newly-appointed CEO and fellow architect
of the Afinitas group of companies, I feel compelled
to share a snapshot of our collective vision for the
future of our company and the broader industry.
