Tom Larson, Director of Sales; Travis Madsen, Director of OperationsMPP is a premium precast company specializing in reinforced concrete pipe, culvert, manholes and other specialty products. The company maintains a prominent presence in civil, county and city infrastructure and state transportation departments.
“Commitment to quality and precision in every product we create sets MPP apart,” says Travis Madsen, Director of Operations. “We continuously invest in the latest technology and practices to ensure our clients receive nothing but the best.”
A defining characteristic of MPP is its modern, purpose-built facility. It was built from the practical experiences of the company’s leadership team, who were involved in the design and construction intricacies from the pre-construction stage. This allowed the integration of the latest advancements in manufacturing technology and equipment, ensuring that all products meet strict specifications and maintain superior quality.
MPP does not rest on its laurels and remains dedicated to continuous improvement and regular part maintenance, while also investing in new precast forms and machinery. This allows it to avoid issues associated with the wear and tear of machinery, like deviations in product dimensions and compromised structural integrity.
The ability to consistently deliver best-in-class products stems from MPP’s culture. It houses a team of seasoned professionals with over a century of combined experience in precast construction. This powers it to approach challenges from multiple perspectives and develop comprehensive solutions.
The majority of MPP’s employees have worked their way up through different positions within the company, gaining invaluable hands-on experience. This internal growth fosters a deep understanding of the business and ensures that team members are well-versed in production and client service. The collaborative spirit within MPP further enhances its ability to provide top-notch products and services.
“Our deep industry expertise and hands-on approach allow us to deliver tailored solutions that meet the distinct needs of each project, ensuring excellence from the ground up,” says Tom Larson, Director of Sales.
MPP understands that informed clients produce better outcomes. It regularly organizes plant tours where clients, engineers and project managers are provided with a clear view of the manufacturing process, fostering a deeper understanding of the products and their quality. This transparency builds trust and reinforces its reputation for excellence.
Construction is constantly evolving with new demands and challenges. MPP stays ahead of the curve by anticipating industry trends and adapting its offerings to gain exceptional flexibility and responsiveness to client needs. The company’s size allows it to be agile, adapting quickly to project timelines and specification changes.
MPP’s adaptability was showcased when a client’s project timeline was unexpectedly moved up by several months, resulting in a delay in initiating the second phase. They needed immediate production and delivery of precast components to finish the assignment on time—a request that required a rapid adjustment of MPP’s existing schedules and procurement of raw materials.
MPP proactively took over the situation, leveraging its flexibility and strong vendor relationships to expedite the material delivery. MPP also rearranged its other production schedules to accommodate the urgent project. Through this approach, the company managed to produce and deliver the required components within four to five weeks, demonstrating its commitment to customer satisfaction and the ability to adapt to unforeseen circumstances. This adaptability is particularly valuable in an industry where project schedules can shift unexpectedly.
