Sun Precast

What Sun Precast does

Sun Precast Company Inc. is a Pennsylvania-based, 100% employee-owned manufacturer of architectural precast concrete and cast stone products, headquartered in a single manufacturing plant at 4051 Ridge Rd, Beaver Springs, PA. The company fabricates custom building units that simulate natural cut stone, including balustrades, columns, coping, cornice, panels, surrounds, sills, lintels, piers, quoins, statuary, signage, date stones, crests, corbels, fascia, treads, and hardscape elements. Its underlying production process combines 3D laser scanning of existing structures, CNC-milled full-scale foam positives for mold fabrication, complex multi-part rubber mold systems capable of supporting sculptural elements mid-air, custom mineral-pigment color matching, and in-house ACI-certified quality control testing. Sun Precast is one of only seven manufacturers nationwide holding dual plant certification from both the Cast Stone Institute and the Architectural Precast Association, and is the only cast stone/architectural precast producing member of the Sealant, Waterproofing and Restoration Institute.

The company sells exclusively through a direct, project-based enterprise sales motion: in-house estimators and CAD drafters engage architects, general contractors, and property owners from estimating through drafting, production, testing, finishing, and shipping, with delivery coordinated by dedicated hired haulers on 4-5 day advance notice. Pricing is determined per-project by scope, complexity, custom molds, finishes, and color requirements, with no public list pricing or e-commerce channel. Customer segments are organized vertically, with Higher Education Institutions and Historic Preservation/Restoration as the two primary segments, complemented by Luxury Residential and Government/Public Sector.

The customer base spans Ivy League and other universities (UPenn, Yale, Bucknell, Colgate, Princeton, Notre Dame, West Point), federal projects (US Federal Penitentiary Lewisburg, US Navy, VA Hospital Lebanon), corporate clients (Hershey, Pepsico, Mohegan Sun), and luxury residential architects. Marquee projects include UPenn College Hall (~10,000 replacement serpentine stones), West Point Taylor Hall (a 10'x9' three-dimensional eagle mold using 100+ sq ft of rubber), and the PA Farm Show Complex William Penn sculpture restoration (8-foot ornate panels using 400+ gallons of liquid rubber). The company has received CSI Excellence Awards every year from 2009 through 2025, alongside Preservation Pennsylvania, ICRI, and ACI Upstate NY Chapter recognition.
