PennStress builds strong foundation for growth with state-of-art batch plant

In December 2014, the Newcrete precast division of New Enterprise Stone and Lime Co., Inc., of Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania, USA, was acquired by the MacInnis Group, LLC, and relaunched as PennStress. The precaster is a leading regional supplier of structural prestessed concrete elements for DOT and commercial projects, including highways, parking garages, stadiums, bridges, and modular correctional facilities. Since its founding in the 1950s, Newcrete relied on concrete from the parent company’s high volume ready-mix operation. Under new ownership, PennStress evaluated new production options, including the choice to continue using ready-mix or invest in its own concrete batching system.
