Wells Concrete, the fifth largest precaster in the U.S., has acquired Waukesha, Wis., based precaster, and machinery manufacturer, Spancrete. With more than 125 years of combined experience in the industry, the partnership aligns two companies dedicated to precast innovation.

“The acquisition of Spancrete by The Wells Companies is a tremendous milestone for both the seller and the buyer representing the consolidation of two family-owned businesses. The Nagy family built an extremely innovative company in Spancrete and achieved tremendous success. From its very first days Spancrete gave life to a new industry and experienced positive growth all the way to its present-day form as a mature, developed company,” said Sam Nesius, Chairman, Wells Concrete. “The Nesius family is honored to be considered worthy stewards of the Nagy family legacy. It is no surprise that our company values are very compatible and our approach to the marketplace, our customers, and our employees is nearly identical.”

With this acquisition, Wells’ footprint will stretch from Canada to New Mexico, and Colorado to Indiana. Spancrete’s precast plants in Valders, Wis., Crystal Lake, Ill., and Sebring, Fla., as well as their machinery division in Waukesha, Wis., will all remain in operation.
