With the precast located in Bob’s back yard as a playground, Bob Jr. has seen the evolution of the precast industry from the last 50 years to where it is today. The years spent watching his father and grandfather build the precast business instilled in Bob the importance of earning new customers and keeping customers for the long haul through hard work and dedication. Many J&R Precast customers have been customers of J&R for decades. Rose Labonte VICE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER As Bob Jr’s sister, Rose also grew up with the precast business as her playground. Sure, the precast was the best place to play hide and seek in the neighborhood growing up. Learning every inch of the precast as a young child allowed Rose to also learn the business from the ground up from her grandfather and father. Rose knows every aspect of the operation in-depth and her responsibilities are numerous from ensuring customer service to order fulfillment and delivery schedules. Rose is known for her patience, a sense of humor, and creative thinking by listening to customer’s needs and translating those needs into what J&R Precast products can do to help them. Ashley Katon VICE PRESIDENT As with all the Katon children, Ashley has grown up around the concrete products that make up her backyard. She is following in the footsteps of her great-grandfather, grandfather, and father and continues the tradition of working and learning the precast business. Ashley works to reconcile billing, manage environmental affairs, and communications, and also works to further programs for human resources and employees.
