Hello. I suggest that you have a good look at the following pages:
* https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Any_tags_you_like
* https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Joto/How_to_invent_tags

Going through a proposal process isn't always necessary; you can just
document your tag and give it the status "in use".

For this specific case I recommend using the tags office=company +
company=construction, which are already documented:
* https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:office%3Dcompany
* https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Acompany%3Dconstruction

Personally I wouldn't tag on the office that a company specifically trades
precast concrete.
This information fits better on a man_made=works as product=*, on the
location where it is produced.
