NRMCA e-news

NRMCA represents the Producer members that place more than half of all the ready mixed concrete in the United States. Associate members can leverage their company’s NRMCA membership dues while reaching an important customer base through NRMCA’s Member 2 Member (M2M) Benefits Program. The program works with participating Associate members to spread the word to Producer members about special “Members Only” rebates, discount pricing and other M2M incentives offered. Your participation not only adds value to your NRMCA membership, it also adds value for your Producer customers by helping them save on the goods and services they need, effectively giving them more buying power. 

 NRMCA has named Edward J. Folkersma of Producer member Northern Sand and Gravel the 2022 Ready Mixed Concrete Delivery Professional Driver of the Year.

Marie, was honored for his career achievements, outstanding safety record, professionalism, driving competency and customer service skills. His extraordinary safety record includes a 34-year career without any at-fault accidents, on-the-job accidents or at-fault rejected loads. Remarkably, during his long career, he has traveled more than 675,000 miles and has delivered more than 125,000 cubic yards of concrete.
