Falzon accredited Candler County Industrial Authority Executive Director Hannah Mullins for her involvement in the project. “We give accolades to Hannah for what she has done,” Falzon said. “Hannah proved to me that you are a better community to work with.” And now that the Metter location is firmly established, Falzon said it is time to look to the future. “I think we are at a point of industrial growth in America,” he said. “We are investing heavily here because we believe there is a future. Seventy-five percent of concrete pump operators are within 12 hours of here. Logistically, we are in a good position to reach our customers. We have a vision, and our vision is not to be someone that follows. We want to lead from the front.” CPE America, which is located in the I-16 Industrial Park on Lytell Street, is the authorized distributor of Everdigm
concrete pumps, which also established its first North American presence in Metter at the CPE location in 2016. CPE America sells Everdigm pumps and provides spare parts and service to customers across America for all makes and models of concrete pumps. Everdigm, which is based in South Korea, is an international leader in concrete pumps, hydraulic attachments, tower cranes and more. From the Metter location, they operate as Everdigm America, Inc. and will import assembled pumps from South Korea. CPE America purchases the assembled pumps and mounts them onto trucks to be sold for construction projects nationwide. “We do the manufacturing and importing and CPE America does assembly and sales,” explained Anthony Chang, sales manager for Everdigm America. everythingsbetterinmetter.com |
