| In the early 1990s Fred, a key employee
of the prior owners, purchased the existing pre-
cast operation and named it Utility Precast. From
that point on, he focused intently on improving the
overall operation. No detail was too small to
attend to. He improved sales, modernized the
plant, added a maintenance shop, built new office
space, upgraded the yard and delivery
equipment, and recruited new staff – one of
whom was his son, Greg Bates.

Precast provides various products for the electrical, gas and telephone
utilities.With this well-established list of customers, Fred and
son Greg felt it was time to move to the next level through product
diversification. They choose Easi- Set’s building program as
one which not only expanded their product offering to their existing
utility customers, but it also opened up totally new markets and
new customers. As Fred looks forward to moving toward semi-retirement,
he is passing the baton to Greg who will become responsible for growing
the business further and ensuring the success of the building program
at Utility Precast. |
