Spancrete produces precast, prestressed concrete products that are used in commercial, industrial, institutional, residential and multifamily construction projects in the Midwest and Southeast. The company also manufactures and sells hollowcore extrusion machines that are used to produce precast concrete internationally. HistoryWest Allis Concrete ProductsIn 1946, Henry Nagy and his brother-in-law, Arthur Hintz, founded the West Allis Concrete Products company in West Allis, Wisconsin. The concrete block manufacturer thrived in the rapidly growing post-World War II economy, manufacturing as many as 1,000 concrete blocks each day. By 1951, West Allis Concrete Products was receiving high-quantity orders to supply concrete block for Milwaukee County Stadium, Wisconsin State Fair Park, and Kohl's Department Stores, as well as new risers for Comiskey Park. The company had grown so large that it required expansion, and it did so by purchasing Genesee Sand and Gravel Company and the Farchione Block Company. In 1953, Nagy traveled to Germany to examine a unique precast concrete manufacturing machine called a Hollowcore extruder. Though damaged by a World War II bomb, Nagy purchased the extruder and its patents and brought them back to the United States.[1] When the extruder was brought back to the U.S., Nagy repaired the machine and began making prestressed, precast hollowcore concrete slabs. Nagy referred to the slabs as, "Spancrete."[2] Corporate StructureDivisionsSpancrete Precast ProductsSpancrete manufactures a variety of architectural and structural precast products, including hollowcore plank, wall panels, beams, columns, double tees, risers, balconies and landings, bridge girders, sound walls, and stairs.
