Work continues on Norweco and Norwalk Precast Molds expansion

NORWALK — The steel is up and and an expansion at Norwalk Precast Molds is taking shape. "A joint venture between Norweco and Norwalk Precast Molds will allow continued growth and expansion of our product lines at both companies," president Gregory Graves said. The number of additional jobs is "undetermined" at this time. In 2007, Norwalk Precast Molds purchased the 205 Industrial Parkway property to allow for continued growth and innovation. This new expansion will more than double its current space and allow the company continued growth. Janotta & Herner, located in Monroeville, is the design build general contractor for the project. "The employee owners of Janotta & Herner want to thank Norweco and Norwalk Precast Molds Inc. for allowing us to be a part of this exciting project," said division president Zach Jones. Norweco and Norwalk Precast Molds trace their beginnings back more than 100 years to 1906. In the 1970s, the Norwalk Vault Company was split into three separate companies: Norwalk Concrete, Norwalk Precast Molds and Norweco. Norweco and Norwalk Precast Molds now produce wastewater treatment systems and high-quality concrete mold products for private, municipal, state and federal projects. Molds are produced for wastewater treatment systems, storm water treatment systems, burial vaults, farm, utility and highway products. Norwalk Concrete is the local licensed distributor for Norweco's residential and commercial wastewater treatment products. The 105,000-square-foot expansion is expected to be finished in the summer of 2020.
