Region Shares Milestone with Company
 (IRVING, TEXAS) -- Clifford Hahne, president of Hanson
Pressure Pipe and South Central region president of Hanson Pipe
& Precast, both divisions of Hanson Building Products North
America, recently celebrated 25 years with the
company.
Awarded and recognized for his achievements by the
U.S. Department of Labor, Associated General Contractors and Texas
Aggregates and Concrete Association, Hahne has played a significant
role in the development of the concrete industry.
Richard
Manning, president of Hanson Building Products North America said,
“Clifford’s contributions to this company are vast from his
successful integration of teams through our countless North American
acquisitions to growing regional precast product market share
regionally. I am proud that he is a part of my Hanson leadership
team.”
“It is an honor to have been a part of the growth and
change in the concrete industry over the past 25 years,” said Hahne.
“You are only as good as your team, so I’m glad to share this
milestone with Richard and my group, who work very hard to achieve
excellence and quality in all aspects of our
businesses.”
Beginning as a plant manager for Australia-based
Pioneer International in 1983, Hahne quickly advanced to president
by 1990, and by 1994, had moved to Australia to serve as general
manager over Western Australia and Queensland.
Hahne
returned to the states in 1997 as president and general manager of
Pioneer Concrete of Texas, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Pioneer. He was responsible for operations in the southern United
States and was involved on a number of joint ventures. Pioneer was
acquired by Hanson in 2000.
Hahne has served as president
since 2003 for Hanson Pipe & Precast’s South Central region, the
company’s largest, headquartered in Grand Prairie, Texas. He
oversees approximately 1,000 people and operations at 26 facilities
in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. The facilities’ products
are used for community and roadway development such as reinforced
concrete pipe, drainage structures and modular bridges.
When
Manning created Hanson Pressure Pipe in 2007, he appointed Hahne as
the company’s president, where Hahne oversees an additional 1,000
employees and operations at nine pressure pipe facilities located in
Florida, Illinois, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas, and Montreal and
Toronto, Canada.
Hahne graduated from the University of Texas
at Arlington with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and
