What ma industries does

M.A. Industries, Inc. is a privately held manufacturer of plastic components and supplies serving the precast concrete, concrete pipe, and concrete testing industries. Founded in 1969 and headquartered at 303 Dividend Drive, Peachtree City, Georgia, the company originated the steel-reinforced plastic manhole step and holds its first patent on panel pads used to eliminate discoloration, breaking, cracking, and chipping in concrete products. Over the past 20 years the company has extended its plastics-manufacturing capability into divisions serving the lead-acid battery industry and the pulp and paper industry in addition to its concrete-industry core.

The product portfolio is organized under the PreCast Supplies brand and spans plastic disposable concrete test cylinder molds (4"x8" and 6"x12", gray and white), lifting devices and lifting irons, steel-reinforced plastic manhole steps (some produced with recycled material), panel pads and shims, pipe joint lubricant, and an extensive utility vault product family including ABS duct terminators (2" through 6"), duct terminator grid systems, pulling irons rated at 7,500 lbs SWL with a 4:1 safety ratio, sump pans and lids, 1/2" anchor inserts and locators, neoprene rubber locators (available in magnetic versions), pulling iron pockets and lids, uni-strut clamps, and terminator extenders. Products are stated to meet or exceed applicable ASTM specifications, and the company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (Cert # 10000470 QM 15) covering its quality management system, with 100% U.S. steel used in reinforced products.

The company operates a direct-to-customer sales model supported by a network of regional sales representatives covering U.S. and international markets, and maintains satellite warehouses in every region of the 48 contiguous states to enable timely deliveries. Pricing is unit-based, with most items available in less-than-case quantities (subject to a $75 handling fee) and concrete test cylinders sold only in case quantity; payment is accepted via Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. The company maintains industry-association memberships including the National Precast Concrete Association, American Concrete Pipe Association, and ASTM International (C13 & C09 committees), plus several regional precast concrete associations.
