2026 Precast Show
Visit JADCO at the 2026 Precast Show in Kansas City
Join JADCO Manufacturing at Booth #2439 during the Conference, January 4–6
This winter, JADCO Manufacturing will be onsite at The Precast Show 2026 — the premier trade show for the manufactured-concrete products industry — happening February 4–6, 2026 in Kansas City, Missouri.
You’ll find JADCO at Booth 2439, ready to connect with precast concrete producers, operations managers, plant engineers, and anyone challenged by wear, abrasion, and impact on their equipment.
Why The Precast Show Matters
The Precast Show gathers more than 5,000 concrete-industry professionals and over 400 exhibiting companies. It offers a platform not only to discover new technologies and materials, but also to learn from leading-edge producers through plant tours, educational sessions (nearly 100 hours), product demonstrations, and networking events — a comprehensive environment to find real solutions and build relationships.
For suppliers like JADCO, exhibiting here means speaking directly to the people specifying wear materials for precast production lines — from concrete batching and molding to finishing, transport, and plant maintenance.
Why JADCO Is a Fit for Precast
Glass production environments are some of the harshest in any industry. High temperatures, abrasive raw materials,
Precast concrete operations involve heavy abrasion, high-impact loads, and constant wear — especially in material-handling, batching, conveyor, and mold systems. That environment demands wear protection that’s both abrasion-resistant and durable over time.
JADCO’s core wear-resistant steel product lines deliver real value:
QT-PLUS® – A through-hardened wear steel with exceptional toughness and ductility, delivering 3–5 times the wear life of commodity AR plate.
CHROMEWELD™ overlay plates — Engineered chromium-carbide overlay plates designed to resist severe abrasion, impact, and flow-induced wear, ideal for hoppers, chutes, screw flights, and conveyors handling harsh aggregates or recycled concrete.
By incorporating JADCO materials, precast producers can reduce downtime, extend component life cycles, and realize lower total cost of maintenance over time — critical in high-volume, continuous-flow precast operations.
What This Means for Precast Producers & Plant Engineers
If you run or operate a precast concrete plant, this is a great opportunity to:
- Evaluate whether your current wear-steel or wear-protection solutions are giving the longest service life possible
- Compare JADCO’s premium materials with commodity wear plates or prior retrofit attempts
- Consult directly with wear-steel specialists on plate thickness, welding, installation, and expected life cycles
Plan ahead for maintenance shutdowns or upgrades — a small investment in the right wear plate can pay dividends in uptime, reduced scrap, and lower long-term operating costs
“The Precast Show brings together the innovators who are pushing the industry forward. We are excited to show how the right wear-resistant materials can unlock better production and fewer equipment failures.”
-Maddie Mawhinney, JADCO Marketing Manager
