At ATMI Precast, we are honored to have been a PCI Certified plant for 20 years! Our commitment to quality and innovation is demonstrated through our adherence to the rigorous standards set by the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI). Our current product certifications through PCI include:
Category A1 Architectural Products
- Includes exterior cladding, load-bearing and non-load-bearing wall panels, spandrels, beams, columns, and more.
- These products have stringent requirements for dimensional tolerances, finish variations, and color consistency.
Category C3A Commercial (Structural) Products
- Precast concrete structural members that are prestressed with straight, pre-tensioning, or post-tensioning.
- Includes stemmed members for roofs, floors, and walls, as well as beams, columns, spandrels, joists, and similar products.
These products may have a special architectural finish and/or be suitable for painting if specified.
Additional Certification
ATMI Precast is proud to announce that we have achieved PCI AA Architectural Precast Certification, the highest level of architectural certification under the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) Plant Certification Program.
This advancement from AC to AA certification reflects our continued investment in quality, technical expertise, and manufacturing excellence. PCI AA certification recognizes producers capable of manufacturing the most complex architectural precast elements while meeting PCI’s most rigorous standards for production and quality control. As an AA certified producer, ATMI Precast is qualified to produce advanced architectural precast components, including:
- Complex architectural finishes such as intricate form liners, deep reveals, and high-definition textures
- Panels incorporating multiple concrete mixtures, colors, and textures within a single precast element
- Large and geometrically complex panels, including curved, angled, and multi-plane elements
- Tight dimensional tolerances and enhanced aesthetic consistency
- Critical architectural applications where appearance, consistency, and durability are paramount
ATMI Precast remains committed to delivering both gray and architectural precast solutions that meet the evolving demands of today’s most challenging projects. We look forward to supporting your next architectural precast project with the expanded capabilities our AA certification provides.
We strive to exceed not only industry standards but also our customers’ standards. The proven consistent quality of ATMI Precast’s products demonstrates our commitment to quality in all phases of your project.

To earn and maintain PCI certification, plants must demonstrate their commitment to quality through:
- The development of a comprehensive Quality System Manual
- The utilization of an established Multi-step Inspection Process for all products
- The successful completion and response to Unannounced Bi-annual Quality Audits through a third-party vendor
- The completion and documentation of Annual Internal Audits
- The completion and documentation of Continuous Root Cause Analysis and Process Improvements
- Plant Personnel Training Certification through PCI
- Regularly Maintained Calibration Intervals for all necessary Quality and Production Department equipment
- The completion and documentation of Approved Vendors for all materials
