2 people injured from smoke inhalation in blaze that displaces 250 residents

Long-time concrete parts and systems provider Concrete Pump Supply (CPS) is preparing for growth by investing in inventory, people and a new, over 100,000 square foot facility. “It’s about hiring the right people and letting them build the organization,” says Pat Inglese, CEO. “No matter how much product inventory you have, operation systems in place and facility square footage, it wouldn’t work unless you have excellent employees build it.”

Prior to World of Concrete 2018, charter exhibitor Schwing America held a reception for customers and friends at the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas. More than 500 people attended. Schwing CEO Bill Murray made opening remarks to the record crowd with thanks to all for the company’s excellent sales in 2017. Senior vice president of sales and marketing, Tom O’Malley, also addressed the crowd with information about the company’s new products being introduced at Schwing’s signature booth in the Central Hall.

Concrete Pump Repair (CPR), a Schwing company, is celebrating 30 years in business. The company’s facility, located 30 miles north of the Schwing plant, repairs, repaints, retrucks and refurbishes all brands of concrete pumps and also sells pre-owned units. Vice president / GM of remarketing, Jerry Anderson, proudly states, “At CPR, the expert technicians who inspect all the used pumps we sell are the same service professionals who work to extend the life and safety of your equipment for years to come.”
