About The Tennessee Concrete Association

TCA helps move the concrete industry forward by creating meaningful value for members and customers through advocacy, education, and market development.

What we do

The Tennessee Concrete Association – TCA – was founded in 1986 under the original name Tennessee Ready Mixed Concrete Association to support broader use of ready mixed concrete across the state. Today, 38 ready mix producer member companies make up roughly 60% of Tennessee's annual ready mix production. TCA functions as an IRS 501 C (6) non-profit trade association.

The association is led by a Board of Directors chosen annually by the membership. That board includes eight ready mix producer members, three associate members, and one affiliate member representing the full TCA membership structure.
