Plant Tour to Visit Midwest Production Facilities

A plant tour on May 23-25, sponsored by NAHB’s Modular and Panelized Building Systems Councils, will take attendees behind the scenes at seven production facilities in northern Indiana. On the itinerary will be four modular producers, a wood and panel producer, a housing industry products manufacturer and one of the country’s leading ready-mixed concrete manufacturers.

Registration is open through this Wednesday, May 19.

Networking opportunities at the annual event include the popular Plant Tour Golf Tournament on Sunday morning, a Sunday night welcome reception and an annual banquet on Monday.

Based at the South Bend Riverfront Marriott, the tour is a must for builders who are interested in learning more about how modular and panelized home building can boost their profits.
