\u201cPortland Cement Association\u201d is changing to\u00a0\u201cAmerican Cement Association\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n

Portland Cement Association, the national association representing U.S. cement manufacturers since 1916, announced it is changing its name to the American Cement Association (ACA). President and CEO Mike Ireland shared the news in Birmingham, AL, during the 67th IEEE-IAS\/PCA Cement Conference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly 1,200 cement industry professionals from around the world are attending the event this week, which is hailed as the cement and concrete industry\u2019s premier annual conference. Following today\u2019s announcement, the association will begin launching the new brand identity in June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe most important reason for the name change is that in recent years, U.S. cement manufacturers have expanded the types of materials they produce beyond portland cement, working to develop more lower-emission cements in an effort to decarbonize the industry and increase domestic cement manufacturing capacity.  The name \u2018Portland Cement Association\u2019 no longer accurately reflects the modern mindset of today\u2019s manufacturers, or the materials they currently produce.\u201d Ireland said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lower-emissions cement consumption has grown more than tenfold since 2021 and now accounts for more than 60% of total cement consumed in the U.S. In 2024, all 50 state Departments of Transportation approved the use of  portland-limestone cement (PLC). PLC reduces the carbon footprint of projects by up to 10%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAdditionally, the rebranding makes it clear that we are a national association that speaks for cement manufacturers across the country,\u201d Ireland said.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During today\u2019s announcement, Monica Manolas, Region President \u2014 Ash Grove Cement , and ACA Board Vice Chair, shared a video with conference attendees, revealing the association\u2019s new slogan: Sustainable Cement for Resilient Concrete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe slogan summarizes the industry\u2019s commitment to staying the course with our Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality,\u201d Manolas said. \u201cWe continue to focus on developing new technologies and products to achieve not only net zero by 2050 but also to increase the capacity of American cement manufacturing to meet demand.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Portland Cement Association (PCA), founded in 1916, is the premier policy, research, education, and market intelligence organization serving America\u2019s cement manufacturers. PCA supports sustainability, innovation, and safety while fostering continuous improvement in cement manufacturing, distribution, infrastructure, and economic growth.
