His broadened responsibilities will now include operating and commercial oversight for the Company's Permalok® steel casing pipe plant in St. Louis, MO as well as corporate and WTS purchasing. Eric joined NWPX in 2008 and has played a critical role in strengthening performance across the WTS segment.

Jesus Tanguis has been promoted to Senior Vice President/General Manager of Precast. Since joining the Company in January 2024 as Vice President/General Manager of NWPX Geneva, Jesus has steadily grown the Utah Precast business and improved its operational performance. Moving forward, Jesus will have operating and commercial oversight for both NWPX Geneva and NWPX Park.

Justin Fraughton has been promoted to Vice President and General Manager of NWPX Geneva and will now provide commercial and operating oversight to the Company's three Utah facilities.
