Skill Precast Expanding in Knox County
Vincennes-based Skill Precast LLC is planning to build a new manufacturing site in Knox County. The company, which makes precast concrete wall panels and pole bases, says it will invest $2.2 million to construct the facility and create up to 15 jobs.
Skill Precast is a licensee of Pennsylvania-based Superior Walls for residential basement wall products. The company says the investment includes the cost of the new building and associated equipment.
“For nearly 20 years, the Skill family of businesses has completed quality projects in the construction industry,” Skill Precast President Brandon Tully said in a news release. “In 2021, we decided to get back into the precast sector, with the intent to provide high-quality, innovative, efficient products, so it didn’t take us long to begin our relationship with Superior Walls.”
Skill Precast says it is currently has two employees and is hiring production team members. Those interested in applying can reach out to the company here.
The company expects the project to be complete by the first quarter of 2023.
The Indiana Economic Development Corp. has offered Skill Precast up to $150,000 in conditional tax credits, which the company will not be eligible to claim until Hoosier workers are hired for the new jobs.
The Knox County Council has also approved a 10-year tax abatement for the project.
