Indiana Ready Mixed Concrete Association

What Indiana Ready Mixed Concrete Association does

Indiana Ready Mixed Concrete Association (IRMCA) is a non-profit trade association founded in 1943 and headquartered in Sheridan, Indiana, representing the state's ready mixed concrete industry. The organization serves 81 member companies across three tiers: 24 Producer Members, 53 Associate Members, and 4 Contractor Members, and claims to represent approximately 95% of Indiana's ready mixed concrete production volume. Indiana's industry, as contextualized by IRMCA, accounts for roughly 5.8 million cubic yards of concrete sold annually and supports over 5,000 occupied concrete positions, with more than 500 vacancies across the state. IRMCA operates with a small staff (1–10 employees) led by Executive Director Chad Montgomery, Promotions Manager Randy Spieth, and 2026 Board President Kevin Lemler.

The association's core offerings include industry advocacy, workforce development, education, networking events, and member resources. Key programs include the Developing Concrete Leaders (DCL) leadership program run in partnership with IU Indianapolis, the Mixer Driver Championship, the Project Awards program, and an annual Winter Mixer (rebranded from the legacy Short Course in January 2026) that drew 235 attendees, 21 exhibitors, and 21 sponsors. Revenue is generated through tiered membership dues across producer, associate, and contractor categories; event registration fees and sponsorships (e.g., DCL tuition at $1,700, session sponsorships at $1,500); and program-specific fees such as Project Award entries ($75).

IRMCA does not produce technology products. It functions as the collective voice and coordination body for an industrial sector in Indiana, with strategic affiliations including the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA), Indiana Constructors, and a joint summer convention with the Kentucky Concrete Association in July 2025. The organization monetizes convening, training, recognition, and advocacy rather than goods or software.

Broad incumbents

• National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA): National trade association serving the entire U.S. ready mixed concrete industry. IRMCA's Mixer Driver Championship serves as a qualifying event for NRMCA's national competition, making it a direct hierarchical partner and partial substitute for IRMCA's member services.
• American Concrete Institute (ACI): National standards, certification, and education body for the broader concrete industry. Overlaps with IRMCA in education and certification but operates at a national scope; relevant peer for understanding how technical authority complements trade association functions.
• Portland Cement Association (PCA): National trade association representing U.S. cement producers. Several IRMCA member companies (Buzzi Unicem, Amrize) have cement-producer parents that belong to PCA, making PCA an upstream stakeholder and partial alternative advocacy channel for ready mix members.

Direct peers

• Michigan Concrete Association: Michigan state-level concrete trade association operating an analogous producer/associate membership model. Comparable regional peer for benchmarking event attendance, dues structure, and member services within the Midwest ready mix ecosystem.
• Ohio Ready Mixed Concrete Association (ORMCA): Ohio's state-level ready mixed concrete trade association operating the same producer/associate membership model as IRMCA. Adjacent geography and parallel services make it a direct comparability benchmark for membership economics and event programming.
• Wisconsin Ready Mixed Concrete Association (WRMCA): Wisconsin state-level ready mixed concrete trade association with similar governance, membership tiers, and annual event programming. Closely comparable for assessing per-member economics and event-driven revenue in the Midwest.
• Kentucky Concrete Association (KCA): State-level ready mixed concrete trade association in Kentucky. KCA partnered with IRMCA on the first KY-IN Joint Summer Convention in 2025, demonstrating the most directly comparable operating model — same structure (producer/associate/contractor members), same event formats, same revenue mix.
• Illinois Ready Mixed Concrete Association (IRMCA-IL): Illinois state-level ready mixed concrete trade association. Notable for sharing the IRMCA acronym — operates the same membership tiers and event formats and competes for member attention from multi-state operators with Indiana footprints.
• Indiana Construction Association (ICA): Indiana's broader construction industry trade association representing general contractors and specialty trades. ICA serves IRMCA's contractor members' parent organizations, competing for the same Indiana construction-industry advocacy voice and event calendar.

Regional players

• American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA): National concrete pavement-focused association with regional chapters. IRMCA's Concrete Pavement Technology Center overlaps with ACPA's mission, positioning it as a partial competitor for pavement-related member attention and education spend.
