Metromont, LLC, a 100-year-old, Greenville-based manufacturer of precast and prestressed concrete products, announces its plan to acquire Heldenfels Enterprises, Inc., of San Marcos, TX.
Metromont, a recognized leader and pioneer in the engineering and manufacturing of precast and prestressed concrete for commercial construction, will purchase Heldenfels Enterprises from its founder, Fred Heldenfels IV, and shareholders effective December 15, 2025. Following the acquisition, the company will operate as Heldenfels Enterprises, a Metromont Company.
Heldenfels Enterprises is a renowned producer and provider of precast and prestressed concrete in Texas, serving the highway & bridge, marine, sports & entertainment, industrial, and custom precast markets across the state. In 1909, brothers F.W. Heldenfels Sr. and C.A. Heldenfels founded Heldenfels Brothers as a lumber and materials business. At the start of World War I, Heldenfels Brothers received a contract from the federal government to build four wooden, steam-powered cargo ships. Over the years, through the addition of sons and grandsons, the company expanded its operations to include the construction of military bases, airports, and highways.
In 1995, Fred Heldenfels IV formed Heldenfels Enterprises, Inc. and bought the company’s precast and prestressed concrete division assets. With its 85-acre manufacturing plant in San Marcos, TX, Heldenfels Enterprises maintains its presence in highway, marine, and industrial construction while building on technological advances to expand into large, challenging commercial markets such as data centers, LNG, power facilities, semiconductor processing, and athletic stadiums.
Heldenfels Enterprises has constructed over 30 stadiums and arenas for professional, collegiate, and high school sports, including Texas A&M’s Kyle Field Renovation, AT&T Stadium (Dallas Cowboys), Texas Tech’s South Endzone, and Reliant Stadium (Houston Texans). Examples of its completed industrial infrastructure projects include the Samsung Semiconductor Factory, the NAS Building, U.S. Armed Forces Reserve Center, and the Tesla Giga Factory.
