What Cement Industries does

Cement Industries, Inc. is a Fort Myers, Florida-based precast and prestressed concrete manufacturer founded in 1953 by William Brown Thompson and Harvey Woodruff Bamman. The company produces three core structural building components — hollowcore slabs (including Spancrete-licensed products), concrete stairs, and concrete platforms — at a single 50-acre manufacturing facility and ships them to jobsites for installation. On-site computerized batching and continuous quality assurance testing are the only notable process technologies, and the company is licensed by Spancrete to produce its hollowcore products for the Florida market.

The business sells directly to architects, engineers, builders, and property owners via phone and email inquiries, with quote-based, non-public pricing and one-time project sales rather than recurring contracts. The company serves a broad set of Florida construction end markets — condominiums, hotels, schools, arenas, parking decks, residential (including hurricane-resistant homes), worship centers, adult living, commercial, hospitals, and office buildings — with reference projects including Germain Arena, American Airlines Arena, the Bank Atlantic Center, and Ritz Carlton parking structures.

Cement Industries is a privately held, family-owned company now led by second-generation Thompsons with almost 100 years of combined precast experience. It operates with 101-250 employees, no public funding, no parent company, and no disclosed subsidiaries. Geographic scope is explicitly limited to the state of Florida, and no digital platform, app, API, or AI/ML capability is offered.
