Join our dynamic team
At Mid-States Concrete, we are always looking to add top talent to our team. Now in our third-generation of family ownership, Mid-States prides itself on being a leader in the precast industry, providing hollow core plank, wall panels, beams, columns, and balconies to our project partners.
Our vision is to change the world by being the safest and most innovative precast building company. We partner with our Customers to innovate, design, and build meaningful buildings in which to live, work, learn, and play. We commit to all this by creating a positive experience with every interaction, having a sense of humor, and believing that being a little weird is a good thing!
Did you enjoy playing with Legos as a child? Did you spend hours building with Lincoln Logs, K’nex, and blocks? Do you drive past construction sites and wonder “how’d they do that?” Better yet, do you know “how they did that?” If you answered “YES” to these questions… you might be just what we are looking for.
We work on everything from the senior living community where grandparents reside, to the multi-family apartment building a newlywed couple calls their first home, to the school gymnasium where 10-year-olds learn how to shoot a three pointer.

Earn Continuing Education Units
Hagen Harker, president of Mid-States Concrete Industries, hosts conversations and demonstrations to explain the process of producing precast concrete in a multi-part vlog.
Online, Self-Paced CEU Courses Available
Mid-States Concrete Industries is a proud member of the AltusGroup. The first-ever national partnership of precast companies dedicated to innovation powered by collaboration, AltusGroup challenges the brightest minds in precast to develop, speed, and perfect technologies that improve the built environment.
The AltusGroup offers three unique online, self-paced learning courses on @AECDAILY, eligible for continuing education credits.
High-Performance Insulated Sandwich Walls Using Composite Design
Eligible for 1 hour of credit.This course explains and illustrates how high-performance, fully composite insulated sandwich wall panels can be detailed to achieve continuous insulation. It explores the pros, cons, and attributes of wythe connectors such as carbon fiber trusses as well as panel insulation options, manufacturing and testing procedures, and installation methods. It concludes by providing a comprehensive set of sample installations to illustrate the broad range of building types and appearances that can be created with insulated sandwich wall systems.

Ultra-Thin Prestressed Precast Panel Technology
Eligible for 1 hour of credit.Ultra-thin prestressed precast technology provides a versatile, lightweight panel that offers the strength and aesthetic versatility of concrete at a fraction of the weight. Prestressed precast panels can be used to replace a variety of traditional building materials in a wide range of exterior and interior applications. Reviewed in this course are the benefits, design and cost considerations, and the connection and fastening systems of prestressed precast panels in architectural application.

The beauty of precast
Precast innovation powered by collaboration
Iconic aesthetics. Energy efficiency. Superior life safety. That’s the beauty of precast.
As seen in The Architect’s Newspaper.
In 2021, precast concrete has never looked better as a building option thanks to innovations brought to the North American market by AltusGroup and its member partners.
AltusGroup is an international collaboration of advanced precast concrete companies dedicated to speeding up and perfecting the development of precast technologies that improve the built environment. AltusGroup members work together to bring advanced technology to market, then compete against one another for work.
Founded in 2003, under a “co-opetition” model, AltusGroup companies engineer, manufacture, validate, and market precast innovations such as the award-winning CarbonCast line of products, ultrathin and light ARCIS precast prestressed panel technology for rainscreens, and Graphic Concrete technology for placing unique images and distinctive patterns on concrete faces.
AltusGroup’s advanced precast technologies deliver real performance benefits to architects and owners.
Energy Efficiency
Continuous insulation delivered by C-GRID carbon fiber grid shear connectors in CarbonCast enclosure systems allow users to realize the full R-value of insulation and avoid thermal transfer through walls. Less energy is required to heat or cool buildings, and less expensive HVAC equipment can be used depending on specification and design.
Iconic Aesthetics
Precast is the ideal palette to express your aesthetic vision. Choose from a wide range of aggregates and pigments, finish treatments, articulations, formliners, and embedments such as thin brick, tile, terra-cotta, and stone. And you can use Graphic Concrete to impart any image, pattern, or design permanently to the precast face.
Unparalleled Resilience
No building material is more durable or longer lasting than precast. An investment in precast technology and design pays dividends for decades. Your vision lasts longer with precast.
Superior Life Safety
Not only does precast provide exceptional occupant comfort during normal conditions, it is an ideal exterior for extreme weather and a changing climate. Unlike combustible materials such as wood and plastics, concrete is inherently fire resistant. You can rest assured that occupants of your building are safe and secure when surrounded by precast concrete.
Advanced technologies from AltusGroup precasters give you the versatility, performance, and resilience that make precast concrete more viable and valuable than ever before.
