Puerto Rico trade group honored by ACI

The American Concrete Institute's Distinguished Achievement Award was presented to the Puerto Rico Ready Mix Concrete Producers Association at the ACI Fall 2007 Convention in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.

The award is given to nonmembers who have made notable contributions to the advancement of the concrete industry. The Puerto Rico Ready Mix Concrete Producers Association works to ensure its members are updated on the ever-changing demands of the construction industry as new techniques develop. The association offers seminars and certifications, closely watches government actions that affect the industry, intervenes in new specifications that prevail in construction projects, and maintains solid relations with professional local and international organizations related to the industry. To date, the association is the only organization recognized in Puerto Rico and internationally as a promoting entity for the use of ready-mix concrete on the island. In addition, the association maintains a grant program that helps outstanding students with low economic means to fulfill their educational goals.
