 The longevity, durability, and strength of concrete pipe are testaments to its superior value. Producers in the concrete pipe industry are hardworking professionals, dedicated to providing the highest quality products, vital to our country's water supply and infrastructure. It is with sincere appreciation and excitement that we at Besser join in the celebration of the first national Concrete Pipe Week.
Besser is honored to serve such a crucial industry and is committed to the success of concrete pipe producers. Through investments in employees and technology, 24/7 customer support, and innovative products, it is our objective to meet producer's needs and exceed their expectations. We are a proud member of the American Concrete Pipe Association (ACPA) and appreciate the work the organization does in regards to education, and expanding the awareness of the tremendous value created by concrete pipe. These products provide fundamental contributions to life as we know it; right here in the USA, and all across the globe.
As we join producers, the ACPA, and fellow industry associates in celebration, we recognize concrete as the superior building material in the world. We also recognize concrete pipe producers for their outstanding contributions to the concrete products industry. Concrete pipe provides an unmatched system.
On behalf of Besser Company, I would like to thank concrete pipe producers for all you do. We look forward to celebrating Concrete Pipe Week for years to come.
Sincerely,Ryan Suszek
Director of Pipe & Precast
