Honored in the Concrete Industry’s TCP 100

PITTSFIELD – Pittsfield-based Unistress Corporation, a leader in manufacturing precast and prestressed concrete building components, has been named the seventh largest company of its kind in North America.

The Concrete Producers 100 is an annual survey of American and Canadian concrete companies, based on total revenue. Among those companies that specialize in precast concrete, Unistress ranks #7.

“We’re pleased to be named again to the TCP 100,” said Perri Petricca, Unistress President and CEO. “It’s not just the revenue figure that’s important to us, but the fact that we’ve continued to rise within our industry, and to be recognized for our endurance and growth.

BVNA Nurses Raise Funds for Berkshire Bounty

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Massachusetts Nursing Association members of the Berkshire Visiting Nurses Association raised $650 to help with food insecurity in Berkshire County.
 
The nurses and health-care professionals of BVNA have given back to the community every holiday season for the last three years. The first year, they adopted a large family, raised money, bought, wrapped and delivered the gifts for the family. Last year, they sold raffle tickets and the money raised went to the charitable cause of the winner. 
 
This year, with food insecurity as a rising issue, they chose to give to Berkshire Bounty in Great Barrington.
 
They sold raffle tickets for a drawing to win one of two items: A lottery ticket tree or a gift certificate tree, each worth $100. They will be giving the organization the donation this month.
 
Berkshire Bounty seeks to improve food security in the county through food donations from retailers and local farms; supplemental purchases of healthy foods; distribution to food sites and home deliveries; and collaborating with partners to address emergencies and improve the food system.
