An Industry Leader

Formerly North America Precast Company, named because of its production facility in San Antonio, Texas and its drafting and engineering departments in both the United States and Mexico, NAPCO was established in 1995 by Jaime Iragorri - along with key employees such as Jay Miller and Larry Hammer.

Mr. Iragorri, one of the pioneers in the precast concrete industry, was responsible for building and running seven precast concrete facilities throughout the United States, including the largest precast plant in North America (and second largest in the world). He has also been credited with the creation of the 12’-wide double tee, the horizontal lite wall system, the vertical vista wall, the introduction of the pre-topped double tee in Texas; and the creation of the 5’-0” x 13” pilaster column.

A Legacy of Precast

2-2-2 Panel

NAPCO made its initial mark in the insulated wall panel market with the introduction of the 2-2-2 panel. Almost three times the net R-Value of CMU and blown insulation.

80%

Our panels showed a reduction in erection time of approximately 80%. As a result, NAPCO built over 20 grocery stores for HEB and Fiesta in just a few years.

We have built precast hotels to compete directly against block and plank structures. Two seven-story AmeriSuites hotels were completed in 31 and 29 days, respectively. As a result, over three months were saved on the overall construction time of the project versus block and plank—resulting in three months of additional revenue for these hotels.

While building tens of millions of square feet of garages throughout Texas, we are best known for helping to create and promote the ‘Texas Doughnut’—parking garages specifically designed for high-density, multi-family projects. Originally competing against cast-in-place concrete, we quickly proved the advantages of precast concrete parking garages in terms of quality, versatility, and speed. By closely working with developers and architects, we collaborate to design each garage on an individual basis, finding the best solutions for our clients' needs. With garage systems that include pre-topped tees and pilasters rather than columns, we can reduce the overall cost by minimizing the total square footage of precast.

Adding a New Member to the NAPCO Family

In May of 2017 Arrowhead Precast was acquired by NAPCO. Arrowhead came with a reputation for providing quality precast products and service to the OK, AR and MO markets for over 8 years. Among these are the OU Stadium expansion, the River Spirit parking garage, the Osage Casino parking garage, The Gathering Place tunnel, and the OG&E coliseum in OKC. Arrowhead is the leading producer of high-quality precast and prestressed concrete products in the area. Its comprehensive product offering includes structural and architectural wall panels, beams, columns, double tees, stairs, and other specialty products.

NAPCO Today

Today, with President Kevin Medlin leading the company, NAPCO Precast LLC is expanding its portfolio and additional product lines. The introduction of the 13’-6” field topped double tee system allows us to use many of the same design parameters of a cast-in-place design, while dramatically reducing the overall construction time of a non-precast garage. With the addition of hollow core for hotels and the introduction of the Quad Tee for offices and podium systems, we are poised to lead the market for the next twenty years.
