Mid-States Concrete Industries Acquires Architectural Precast, Inc.

SOUTH BELOIT, IL - (April 15, 2024) - Mid-States Concrete Industries has recently acquired Architectural Precast, Inc. of Browntown, Wis. Both companies specialize in precast concrete building systems. By combining the precast capabilities of Architectural Precast, Inc. and Mid-States Concrete’s expertise in precast solutions, customers will benefit from expanded opportunities for precast building solutions.

This is the second acquisition Mid-States Concrete Industries has made in recent months. In late December 2023, Mid-States Concrete Industries acquired Germantown, Wisconsin-based International Concrete Products. The acquisition of Architectural Precast, Inc. adds a second Wisconsin manufacturing location to Mid-States, which has its production facility in South Beloit, Ill.

The teams at Mid-States Concrete Industries and Architectural Precast, Inc. will continue to work with their customers every step of the way on their precast projects, including preconstruction assessment, design and engineering support through construction and completion to find the right solutions for each unique project.

“By combining Mid-States Concrete Industries and Architectural Precast, Inc. (API), our teams will bring an even greater energy and innovative charge to an already customer-focused approach to the marketplace,” said President Hagen Harker, Mid-States Concrete Industries.

The acquisition will allow Mid-States Concrete Industries to add to its already impressive portfolio of projects which include ABC Supply Stadium, University of Chicago Lab School, Glenview Village Hall, and Seneca Foods. Architectural Precast, Inc. will add experience gained from their own projects, such as Prairie Haus Apartments in New Glarus, Wis. and Klondike Cheese in Monroe, Wis., as well as work with residential general contractors for storage or rooms below garages.

“I’m extremely excited about joining the Mid-States company,” said Bronson Wahl, President of Architectural Precast, Inc. “The resources from Mid-States will allow us to continue providing great precast products with even better support.”

“This acquisition is going to bring some exciting things to our customers and the market,” said Jeremy Olivotti, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Mid-States Concrete Industries. “Increased capacity, new product offerings and better solutions. We love to help turn ideas into buildings and this is going to be a big part of us getting to help our customers do that.”

Both companies are multi-generation family-led organizations. Mid-States Concrete Industries was founded in 1946 and Architectural Precast, Inc. was founded in 2000. Both organizations pride themselves on partnering with their customers to find the right solutions for their unique projects.

“For more than 20 years, the Wahl family has delivered on innovation and being easy to do business with, a perfect strategy for precast concrete building system design, and one that Mid-States has nurtured itself over 78 years in business,” says Harker. “Developers, owners, architects and builders value consistency, competitive pricing and a quality product delivered safely and on time. Our commitment to these principles just got stronger.”
