Texas Aggregates & Concrete Association

What Texas Aggregates & Concrete Association does

Texas Aggregates & Concrete Association (TACA) is a Texas-based membership trade association founded in 1974 and headquartered at 1205 BMC Drive #107, Cedar Park, Texas. TACA serves as the leading advocate for the aggregate, concrete, cement, and related industries in Texas, representing 80% of aggregates, 100% of cement, and 75% of concrete producers in the state. The association operates as a private membership organization governed by its member companies and engages with stakeholders, policymakers, and regulators on behalf of the industry.

TACA's service portfolio spans legislative and regulatory advocacy (federal, state, and local), industry education and training, certification and recognition programs, and member networking. Core offerings include the quarterly TACA Conveyor magazine, the Emerging Leaders Academy (a two-year leadership development program presented in partnership with Peak Performance Group), the S.T.A.R. (Sustainable, Trustworthy, Accountable, Responsible) Community Program for sustainability certification, the Bruce Ingram Excellence in Concrete Certification, the TACPAC political action committee, and recurring events including the TACA Annual Meeting and Environmental & Safety Seminar. Annual award contests (Truck Driver of the Year, Production Employee of the Year, Sherry L. Moore Industry Professional Award, Bob R. Beard Good Neighbor Award, Safety Contest, Public Appearance Contest) and TACA Foundation scholarships (Robert Lee Hunter Jr. Memorial Scholarship, Rich Szecsy Educational Scholarship) round out the member value proposition.

TACA generates revenue through membership dues, event registration fees, sponsorship and advertising sales (including the active 2026 Sponsor with TACA and Advertise with TACA programs), and certification program fees. Distribution is exclusively domestic, delivered direct-to-member through the association's own channels (website, magazine, email, events). There is no public listing, no disclosed parent entity, and no equity ownership structure; TACA is governed by its membership rather than outside investors.

Direct peers

• American Concrete Institute: ACI develops concrete standards, codes, and certifications for the concrete industry, overlapping directly with TACA's Bruce Ingram Excellence in Concrete certification and broader concrete-producer member services.
• Portland Cement Association: PCA represents cement manufacturers in the U.S., directly parallel to TACA's 100% Texas cement producer coverage. It conducts advocacy, technical research, and sustainability programming serving the same producer constituency as TACA does at the state level.
• American Concrete Pavement Association: ACPA represents concrete pavement contractors and materials suppliers, sharing TACA's downstream construction-concrete focus. It provides certification and advocacy for a specific application segment of the same broader concrete ecosystem TACA serves.
• National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association: NSSGA is the national trade association for the aggregates industry — directly parallel to TACA's aggregates member base. It operates at the federal level with advocacy, safety, and workforce programs that mirror TACA's state-level portfolio, making it the closest national-level peer.
• National Precast Concrete Association: NPCA represents precast concrete producers with a similar advocacy, certification, and workforce development model to TACA's. It serves a narrower product segment but operates the same trade-association playbook.
• National Ready Mixed Concrete Association: NRMCA is the national trade association for the ready-mixed concrete industry — TACA reports 75% Texas producer representation in the same segment. NRMCA operates certification, safety, and advocacy programs analogous to TACA's, making it a direct functional peer.

Broad incumbents

• National Asphalt Pavement Association: NAPA is the national trade association for the asphalt pavement industry, offering overlapping advocacy, training, and certification capabilities. It is a broad incumbent because it serves a wider national footprint and an adjacent but not identical materials category.
• American Road & Transportation Builders Association: ARTBA is a broader transportation construction industry association that encompasses TACA's downstream infrastructure end market. It overlaps with TACA on federal infrastructure advocacy and serves as an industry-wide umbrella rather than a narrow aggregates/concrete specialist.

Regional players

• Associated General Contractors of Texas: AGC Texas is the state chapter of the national AGC, representing general contractors in Texas. It is a regional peer because it shares TACA's Texas-only scope and serves as the contractor-side counterpart to TACA's materials-producer-side mandate.
• Texas Asphalt Pavement Association: TXAPA is a Texas-only trade association structurally identical to TACA, but serving the asphalt pavement segment instead of aggregates/concrete/cement. It is a strong structural peer because it operates the same state-level advocacy, training, and certification model in an adjacent materials market.
