Our History...

In 1974, Terry Gray began pouring concrete at this location in Topsham, Maine.

Richard Nixon was President of the United States (but not for long), Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run, breaking Babe Ruth's long-standing record, and Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman in the "Rumble in the Jungle".

Before opening Precast Concrete Products of Maine, Inc., Terry was a high school industrial arts teacher and moved on to building house foundations in the late 60's and early 70's.

Since then, with Terry's son Ben at the helm, the company has grown to provide a wide range of concrete products for both residential and commercial construction in mid-coast and southern Maine. Our core products include septic tanks and lift stations; manholes, catchbasins, and utility boxes; and most recently Stone Strong Retaining Wall Systems.

In January 2008 we installed a new computerized concrete batch plant, and retired our truck-mounted concrete mixers. The resulting improvement in efficiency and product quality control (as well as reducing our carbon footprint) is just another step in continuing to improve our products and services.

Other interesting events of 1974 included:

The Cleveland Indians staged an ill-advised Ten Cent Beer Night for a game against the Texas Rangers at Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Cleveland had to forfeit the game after alcohol-fueled mayhem and violence spread from the stands onto the field.

The last Japanese World War II soldier, Second Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda, surrendered in the Philippines.

The Universal Product Code is scanned for the first time, to sell a package of Wrigley's chewing gum at the Marsh Supermarket in Troy, Ohio.

Obviously, it was a big year.
