McCreary Concrete Products, Inc. Attains NPCA Ceritified Plant Distinction

(Indianapolis) 4/18/08- McCreary Concrete Products, Inc. located in Indianapolis, IN is pleased to announce it has been awarded status as a National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA) Certified Plant. This designation recognizes McCreary Concrete Products, Inc. as a precast concrete manufacturing plant operating at the highest standards of production and quality control.

NPCA established its national Plant Certification Program in 1987 to ensure a consistent industry benchmark and a high degree of excellence among precast operations. The program involves a comprehensive review of all aspects of a plant's manufacturing processes.  To achieve certification, participants must pass an initial inspection.  Plants then maintain certification by passing periodic, unannounced on-site inspections conducted by an independent engineering firm.

According to Ty E. Gable, NPCA President, McCreary Concrete Products, Inc. has proven its commitment to producing high-quality precast products by attaining certification.  By specifying NPCA certification and purchasing products from certified plants, engineers, architects, and contractors are assured they are receiving products that come from an organization dedicated to the highest level of quality throughout the manufacturing process.

For more information about McCreary Concrete Products, Inc. call 317-844-5157 or 765-932-3058.  To learn more about the NPCA and its certification programs, visit www.precast.org.

Press Release

RUSHVILLE, Ind. (April 3, 2009) - McCreary Concrete Products Inc., a manufacturer of concrete materials for a variety of residential and commercial applications, announced today that it will expand its operations here creating up to 14 jobs by 2012.

The company, which manufactures concrete tanks, commercial manholes and storm structures among other concrete products for residential use, municipal services and commercial customers, will invest more than $2.3 million to construct a 20,000 square-foot   precast concrete products production and office facility in the city's North Industrial Park.

"We are proud that McCreary Concrete selected Indiana for its latest investment. We have worked hard to create a competitive environment that encourages businesses like McCreary to grow in Indiana," said E. Mitchell Roob, Jr., Secretary of Commerce and chief executive officer for the Indiana Economic Development Corporation.

The Rushville-based McCreary Concrete Products, which employs 12 associates at its current Fort Wayne Road facility, plans to begin hiring additional production workers and drivers prior to the completion of construction on the new facility.

"The decision to relocate the Rushville manufacturing operation will allow our employee team to expand and diversify our current product lines," said Christopher Elbrecht, president of McCreary Concrete Products. "Greatly expanded production potential in Rushville will allow us to grow our area of service into neighboring states while maintaining our current customer base. We look forward to maintaining our manufacturing presence in Rushville as we position ourselves for anticipated future growth in the onsite wastewater industry."

Founded in 1945, the company recently purchased the assets of McCreary Block LLC and Carmel-based concrete component manufacturer Carmel Concrete Products Inc.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered McCreary Concrete up to $60,000 in performance-based tax credits and $15,000 in training grants based on the company's job creation plans. Additional infrastructure assistance will be provided from the state's Industrial Development Grant Fund. The City of Rushville will consider additional property tax abatement at the request of the Rush County Economic and Community Development Corporation.

"The expansion of McCreary Products, Inc. is a big plus for Rushville. Not only are we retaining an established business, we are gaining 14 new jobs," said Rushville Mayor Mervyn Bostic. "Hopefully, McCreary's decision to build its new plant in our North Industrial Park will entice others to locate there."

Indiana's manufacturing industry received an overall "A" grade, according to a 2009 National Manufacturing and Logistics Report Card published by Conexus Indiana.
