PRINCETON, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Wright Block & Precast, a major producer of block, brick, and precast concrete in the central Appalachian region, has announced the acquisition of American Block and Eastern Vault assets in Princeton.
The Princeton facility will officially relaunch on November 15, 2024, bringing 12 new jobs to the CMU (Concrete Masonry Unit) production side.
The Princeton Eastern Vault facility ceased its operations in March of this year.
The company anticipates adding 28 more jobs by the third quarter of 2025 as it ramps up precast production.
This expansion offers strategic advantages, allowing the company to better serve its customers in the mining and commercial construction sectors, according to Wright Block & Precast.
Shannon Wright, President and CEO of Wright Block & Precast, called the acquisition a “significant milestone” for the company.
He noted that the Princeton facility provides “a stronger foothold in central Appalachia,” enabling the company to continue delivering high-quality products efficiently.
The Princeton facility will join Wright Block & Precast’s other production centers in Pikeville and Allen, Kentucky, and Madisonville, KY, as the company seeks to grow its service footprint across Appalachia.
