What Construction Products does

Construction Products, LLC. (CPI) is a privately held, family-owned manufacturer founded in 1961 and based in Jackson, Tennessee, specializing in precast and prestressed concrete products. The company operates from a 50-acre facility with an additional 100 acres available for expansion, and produces four primary product lines: highway/bridge/road construction products, prestressed and precast building products, railroad products, and the patented Stress-Dock™ concrete floating boat dock system. CPI is a PCI-certified manufacturer with multi-modal shipping capability (rail, highway, and barge) that distributes heavy precast products across the Mid-South region.

The company sells through project-based contracts to a diverse customer base that includes federal agencies (Tennessee Valley Authority, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers), Class I railroads, marina operators, and commercial/institutional building customers. Revenue is generated via custom engineered precast/prestressed concrete products specified into infrastructure and building projects rather than recurring subscription or volume contracts. The business model is built on long-standing supplier relationships, technical certification (PCI), and the ability to deliver engineered concrete products via multiple transportation modes.

CPI has diversified beyond its core precast concrete base into adjacent construction verticals, including asphalt paving and subdivision development, and continues to iterate on its Stress-Dock™ product line. The company is owned and operated by the Thomson family, with no external investors or disclosed funding rounds. Customer concentration is diversified across multiple verticals, though project-based revenue mechanics create lumpiness tied to infrastructure spending cycles.
