What ATMI Precast does

ATMI Precast is a privately held, family-owned full-service precast concrete manufacturer founded in 1990 in Aurora, Illinois (originally as Automatic Teller Modules Inc.), with three operating divisions: ATMI Precast (Aurora, IL headquarters), ATMI Indy (Greenfield, IN manufacturing plant established in the early 2000s), and Waubonsee Development (an affiliated erector established in 1991). The company designs, engineers, manufactures, transports, and erects structural and architectural precast concrete components — including beams, columns, double tees, solid slabs, spandrels, shear walls, lite walls, stairs, architectural wall panels, and thermally broken insulated wall panels — for industrial, warehouse, retail, hotel, data center, institutional, parking, residential, mixed-use, and office projects across the Midwest (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky, Wisconsin), constrained to roughly a 300-mile delivery radius from its two plants.

The company's technical backbone is a BIM-integrated sales-to-erection workflow built on Tekla Structures, in which 3D models originate at the sales stage and propagate through estimating, engineering, panelization, production, and erection. Manufacturing capacity is anchored by 21 production beds (each up to 400 feet long) across 350,000 SF of indoor production space in Aurora and Greenfield, combined weekly output of up to 250,000 SF of prefabricated concrete, two automated concrete batch plants, an in-house structural steel and rebar fabrication shop, and a captive logistics fleet of 150 trailers (Aurora) plus 90 trailers (Indy). Quality credentials include PCI AA Architectural Precast Certification — the highest tier in the PCI Plant Certification Program — along with PCI C3A Commercial (Structural) Products certification, 20+ years of continuous PCI certification, and ISO 9001:2015 / IAS accreditation. Safety is documented with an EMR of 0.76 (2023) and a 156-day recordable-injury-free streak at Waubonsee Development, which holds the lowest EMR of any precast erector in the Midwest.

ATMI sells exclusively through direct enterprise relationships with owners, developers, general contractors, architects, and engineers, with senior management (Jake Armbruster, Mike Walsh, Joe Pozzi) and a dedicated estimating team driving business development. Pricing is custom-quoted on a project basis; there are no public price lists, no resellers or dealers, and no subscription or recurring revenue component — every project is a one-time manufactured-goods and services engagement that bundles engineering (BIM), manufacturing, transportation, and erection into a single point-of-contact contract. The company has completed over 2,000 industrial projects in Chicagoland alone and serves marquee enterprise customers across verticals including Facebook, Cyrus One, Digital Realty, Target, Trader Joe's, Westin, Hilton, Aloft, Topgolf, Bass Pro, Woodman's, and Northern Illinois University.

Products and services

• Precast Building Systems A complete portfolio of precast concrete components that can be combined to build a complete core and shell of the precast structure, including beams, columns, double tees, solid slabs, spandrels, shear walls, lite walls, stairs, architectural wall panels, and insulated wall panels. Targets developers, owners, general contractors, architects, and engineers across the Midwest.
• Precast Columns A vertical structural member that typically supports precast concrete beams, spandrels, or walls. Sold as a component of ATMI's full precast building system.
• Precast Double Tees A higher load-carrying, longer span floor member required when long span and higher loading is needed, typically for precast parking garage applications, warehouses, and retail. ATMI has supplied 100-foot-long double tees for projects including Target Division Street.
• Precast Shear Walls A solid vertical precast concrete wall panel specifically designed to resist shear loading within a building's footprint and transfer loads to the foundations. Sold as part of ATMI's full precast building system.
• Architectural Wall Panels A prestressed concrete wall panel or spandrel with a colored or textured finish. Backed by ATMI's PCI AA Architectural Precast Certification (highest level) and a wide range of finish options including abrasive blast, acid etch, thin brick, form liners, and custom aggregates.
• Insulated Wall Panels Precast concrete units constructed with a layer of insulation between two widths of concrete, often used in warehouse, institutional, retail, and mission critical (data center) applications. Data center configurations combine Polyiso and EPS insulation to provide a thermally broken envelope.
• Engineering Services Advanced BIM technology with fully associative drawings linking design engineering with sales, production, and erection. Uses AutoCAD, Tekla Structures, SketchUp, and Revit. A team of 29 experts (average 15 years industry experience) produces construction-accurate models that integrate shop drawings, submittals, and production tickets.
