Pittsfield, Massachusetts-based Unistress, a division of Petricca Industries, plans to construct a 22,100-square-foot facility in which it will do its own metal fabrication.
Unistress is a manufacturer of concrete materials including precast, prestressed concrete for parking garages, roads, bridges, buildings and other concrete projects. With the new facility, Unistress will no longer need to source its steel from outside Massachusetts.
The project received $4.5 million in tax-exempt bond financing from MassDevelopment, a quasi-public agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, because Unistress was able to demonstrate that the project will trigger job growth.
The plant will manufacture metal components for use in concrete slab production.
