Examples include Snow Canyon High, Best Buy, Walmart and Costco Warehouses. Another application of Sunroc Masonry blocks is retaining walls and fencing. “This facility is really the keystone of Sunroc in Southern Utah,” said Troy Bradshaw, location sales manager. “We’ve not only built a high-capacity manufacturing plant, we’ve doubled our size in square footage, modernized our existing buildings and showroom, and we’ve invested a lot into landscaping and aesthetics to make the facility a pleasing place for our customers to visit.” The open house welcomed an approximate 500 guests who were treated to lunch and facility tours. Supporters included Clyde Companies executives, contractors, city and chamber of commerce leaders, support vendors and customers. “It was an outstanding representation across the board,” Leslie said. Based in St George, Utah, Sunroc, a subsidiary of Clyde Companies, is a premiere construction services provider that builds value for its customers, employees, shareholders and community. |
