Advanced Drainage Systems Adds Frederick Precast

Advanced Drainage Systems Inc., Hilliard, OH, recently acquired the assets of Frederick Precast Concrete Inc., Greencastle, PA, a manufacturer of box culverts, riser structures and precast drop manholes for storm drain and sanitary sewer lines, plus precast endwalls.

ADS purchased the Foltz Concrete Pipe Company of Winston-Salem, NC in April and Piedmont Concrete of Pineville, NC in May. And now offers a complete line of  sanitary, storm and water structures to the mid-Atlantic United States.

            "We have been very aggressive in our program to add products and services to further expand our supply line to our customers," said Joseph Chlapaty, chairman and chief executive officer of ADS.  "But we are adding only quality, well-respected and proven companies that also reflect the ADS charter of 'customer first'.  This has been the backbone of ADS for nearly 45 years, a posture we will continue to strengthen and fortify with companies such as Frederick."
