About The Tennessee Concrete Association

TCA leads the concrete industry in creating sustainable value for members and customers through Advocacy, Education and Market Development.

What we do

The Tennessee Concrete Association – TCA – was formed in 1986 (originally known as the Tennessee Ready Mixed Concrete Association) with the primary purpose of promoting the increased use of ready mixed concrete in Tennessee. Today, we have 38 ready mix producer member companies representing approximately 70% of the annual ready mix production in Tennessee. The TCA is organized as an IRS 501 C (6) non-profit trade association.

The association is governed by a Board of Directors elected annually by the membership. The board includes eight ready mix producer members, three associate members and one affiliate member representing each class of the TCA membership.
