National Ready Mixed Concrete

What National Ready Mixed Concrete does

National Ready Mixed Concrete Company, Inc. (NRMCC) is a privately held ready-mix concrete supplier founded in 1946 and headquartered in Encino, California, operating 11 manufacturing plants across Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura Counties in Southern California. The company produces conventional and high-performance ready-mixed concrete for projects ranging from single-family residential to high-rise buildings and major transportation infrastructure, serving enterprise contractors, public works agencies, architects, engineers, and individual homeowners. NRMCC is a subsidiary of Vicat Group, the Swiss-based international cement conglomerate, which provides cement supply and global research and development support.

NRMCC's product portfolio centers on conventional ready-mix concrete, low-carbon concrete mixes using Type 1L (HS) Portland-Limestone Cement, and high-performance formulations utilizing Orca high-density aggregates that achieve compressive strength above 10,000 PSI. The company operates the Vernon Flagship mega-plant, launched in Fall 2018 and described as one of the largest ready-mix operations in the country with 5,000+ ton aggregate storage. Its CarbonClarity™ digital suite — comprising Project Builder, Concrete Designer, and EPD Generator — provides architects and engineers with iterative embodied-carbon design tools and instant third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations. NRMCC was an early adopter of Type 1L cement and operates a 130-truck near-zero emission fleet powered by carbon-negative renewable natural gas, offsetting approximately 42,000 metric tons of CO2 annually and supported by four on-site RNG refueling stations.

NRMCC generates revenue through transaction-based pricing on delivered concrete volumes, with quote-based pricing varying by mix design, strength specifications, project size, and delivery requirements. The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales via its Sales & Technical Services division in Ontario, CA, with relationship-based selling to architects, engineers, contractors, and public works officials, plus direct engagement of homeowners and small contractors through website tools such as the Concrete Calculator. Early collaboration during project design is positioned as a key differentiator, embedding NRMCC's technical expertise upstream of specification decisions. The company's geographic concentration is entirely within Southern California, with no disclosed expansion beyond the regional footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Cemex: Global cement and ready-mix concrete major with significant US and Southern California operations. Competes with NRMCC on large public-works pours while offering a much broader geographic and product portfolio.
• Martin Marietta Materials: Leading US supplier of aggregates and ready-mixed concrete, with growing West Coast exposure. Comparable end-product offering though structured around aggregates-led vertical integration.
• Vulcan Materials Company: Largest US producer of construction aggregates with a national ready-mix concrete business (post U.S. Concrete acquisition). Comparable in concrete product offering but operates at vastly larger scale and broader geography.
• Summit Materials: US aggregates and cement-based products company with ready-mixed concrete operations across multiple states. Comparable mid-market positioning on ready-mix though less California-concentrated.
• Quikrete Holdings: Largest US manufacturer of packaged concrete products with selective ready-mix operations. Comparable cementitious-product portfolio at much larger packaged-goods scale.
• Heidelberg Materials: Major US cement and ready-mix concrete producer (formerly Lehigh Hanson), with West Coast operations. Direct overlap on ready-mix product and on low-carbon cement initiatives.

Direct peers

• Argos USA: US arm of Grupo Argos, producing cement and ready-mixed concrete in the Americas. Comparable mid-cap scale and ready-mix focus, with growing emphasis on sustainable concrete offerings.
• Robertson's Ready Mix: Long-established Southern California ready-mix concrete supplier (subsidiary of Mitsubishi Cement). Direct head-to-head competitor in LA, Orange County, and Riverside/San Bernardino markets.
• CalPortland Company: Major California-headquartered cement and ready-mix concrete producer with deep Southern California plant footprint. Most directly comparable competitor to NRMCC in geography, product mix, and customer base.

Emerging players

• CarbonCure Technologies: Canada-based low-carbon concrete technology company enabling CO2 injection during concrete production. Thematically comparable as a competing low-carbon concrete pathway to NRMCC's Type 1L/RNG strategy.
