In 2012, Newman Technology selected Gray Construction to design and build its 141,284 s.f. facility in Alabama. Since then, the companies have partnered on three expansions totaling 311,320 s.f. with the most recent project including foundations for three new stamping presses as well as scrap conveyors and mezzanines.
“At Gray Construction, our key core value is – we are customer and relationship driven,” said Stephen Gray, president and CEO of Gray Construction. “To partner on a design-build project six years ago and work on three consecutive expansions since then truly speaks to the teamwork and strong relationship between the companies.
