Our Beginning

From one building to a 100,000 sq ft plant

Founded in 1964 by the Rainero family, Permatile manufactured its first concrete product on March 25, 1966, serving State and County highway agencies and the sanitary sewer market with concrete pipe, then manholes. In 1971 we landed our first big project: eleven miles of sanitary sewer pipe, with five miles of O-Ring reinforced concrete pipe ranging from 54″ diameter down to 15″.

Our parent company, Joe Rainero Tile Company Inc., specialized in highly finished tile, terrazzo, marble and granite work. We draw from that sense of precision and adapt it to precast, and we are one of few companies that test each section of our pipe for air-tightness.

What We Make

Standard pipe to one-off engineered precast

From everyday infrastructure to highly specialized work no one else will take on, if it can be precast, we can precast it.

Our Story

A family business, four generations deep

Over the years the company grew from one building to over 100,000 square feet of heated production space, with under-crane capacities up to 50 tons and year-round capacity, served by our own fleet of trucks. We were among the first in the Quality Assurance programs of the National Precast Concrete Association and the American Concrete Pipe Association.

Permatile prides itself on the longevity of its workers, with many employees of over forty years and several still working past retirement age. Several fourth-generation family members have stepped into management and leadership, keeping quality, precision and service at the forefront of our mission.

“If it can be precast… we can precast it.”
