Abstract:
Molin Concrete Products is nearing completion of an automated wall panel manufacturing facility located in Ramsey, MN. The plant will produce precast concrete architectural cladding, insulated concrete wall panels, and solid structural panels. Precast concrete wall panels will be formed, given shape, placed, cured, and finished in a continuous production line nearly untouched by human hands. The plant will require less factory space, less labor, and provide higher quality, more consistent products, and faster product availability.
