The Soutel Plant has been in production for less than a year and has already won its first Diamond Achievement. This will be the seventh year in a row that the Shad plant has achieved the award.
“I would like to thank all of our plant employees for their hard work and for making a better environment and better place to work,” said Larry Pruitt, Vice President of ACA asphalt division.
