Rodney Smith, Chairman and CEO, stated, “The Company ended the year extremely well with a profitable fourth quarter and a record year for revenues and profits. We are looking forward to 2017 for continued growth and profitability.

“With the recent crash-test approval by the Federal Administration (FHWA) of the J-J Hooks™ MASH (Manuel for Assessing Highway Safety Devices) TL3 freestanding precast concrete barrier, Smith-Midland/Easi-Set Worldwide is accelerating its lead as the nation’s #1 precast concrete safety barrier supplier as highway safety standards are continually raised in the 41 states and 5 countries where our J-J Hooks barriers are sold. With the President’s proposed $1 trillion infrastructure plan, the Company and its licensees can promptly implement J-J Hooks barrier production using the latest and highest FHWA standards.

“Smith-Midland continues to be the industry leader in security and highway wall manufacturing. From the Company’s production of the Sing Sing maximum security prison anti-scale wall to the 35 foot tall highway Sierra sound walls, the flexibility and expertise of the Company’s wall manufacturing and design is unparalleled. The highway sound wall product will continue as an important part of our precast production.

“Smith-Columbia, our latest precast concrete factory acquisition located in South Carolina, has started fast and is highly profitable in its first year. New orders are continuing to arrive in Columbia at a rapid pace.”

Smith-Midland develops, manufactures, licenses, rents, and sells a broad array of precast concrete products for use primarily in the construction, transportation and utilities industries.
