What Strescon does

Strescon is the precast and prestressed concrete division of OSCO Construction Group, a privately-held Canadian conglomerate founded in 1955 by K.C. Irving and Hans W. Klohn in Saint John, New Brunswick. Founded in 1963 and headquartered at 101 Ashburn Lake Road, Saint John, with a manufacturing plant and regional office at 131 Duke Street, Bedford, Nova Scotia, Strescon designs, manufactures, and erects precast concrete components for industrial, commercial, institutional, infrastructure, and multi-residential projects across Atlantic Canada, Eastern Canada, the New England States, and the US Great Lakes Region. Its product portfolio spans seven categories: Building Envelope & Cladding Solutions (architectural and insulated wall panels, CarbonCast Enclosure Systems); Building Systems (industrial frames, parking garages, correctional facilities, stadiums/arenas, water/sewage treatment plants); Floor & Roof Systems (solid slabs, double tee members, Strescore Plank); Structural Solutions (beams, columns, shearwalls, stairs, total precast structures); Transportation Infrastructure (deck slabs, box girders, NEXT Beams, New England Bulb Tee Girders, wharfs); Drainage Systems (pipe, box culverts, manholes, Stormceptor, retaining walls); and Environmental Infrastructure (large-diameter process treatment tanks). The company operates a B2B project-based contracting model, selling through direct engagement, competitive bidding, and procurement by general contractors, construction managers, and project owners (e.g., Suffolk Construction, Nova Scotia Power, Marque Construction), with project-specific quote-based pricing and no standardized tiers. As a division of OSCO, Strescon benefits from vertical integration with sister entities in ready-mix concrete and aggregates (OSCO Concrete / OSCO Aggregates), structural steel (Ocean Steel & Construction), reinforcing steel (OSCO Rebar, Allstar Rebar), and construction management (FCC/Marque Construction & Electrical), enabling internal supply-chain efficiencies across project execution. The company has 101-250 employees and positions itself as "one of Canada's most trusted contractors, fabricators, and erectors" in the precast/prestressed concrete vertical.
