About the North American Concrete Alliance
The North American Concrete Alliance is a coalition of concrete-related associations dedicated to addressing industry-wide priorities in the areas of research, education, and government affairs. Cement and concrete product manufacturing, directly and indirectly, employs approximately 600,000 people in our country, and our collective industries contribute over $100 billion to our economy.
Cement – the principal ingredient in concrete – makes civilization possible. The mixture of portland cement, aggregate, and water makes the building material concrete. It is essential to the modern world. After water it is the most utilized material in the world. Concrete is critical to the construction of pipes to deliver clean water, to build ports essential to world trade, to construct roads, bridges, mass transit, airports and runways, and in building the buildings we work and live in.
