ABOUT SNCA
The Sierra Nevada Concrete Association (SNCA) is composed of companies from all parts of the concrete construction industry. SNCA is an active force in promoting the use of quality concrete for all types of construction, and to benefit all aspects of the community.
We provide public officials, engineers, architects, designers and private developers with access to information on any questions regarding concrete in the Northern Nevada/California region The Association provides:
Four Pillars of SNCA
1. Promoting the Use of Ready Mixed Concrete
Ready mixed concrete continues to be the backbone of modern construction, offering unmatched durability,
versatility, and performance. This year, SNCA will place renewed emphasis on educating builders, designers, and
public agencies about the advantages of concrete products, whether for infrastructure, residential development, or
commercial projects. By highlighting its environmental benefits, quality control, and long-term value, we aim to
increase awareness, expand market adoption, and support our members who produce and deliver this essential
material every day.
2. Enhancing Education and Workforce Development
Concrete remains one of the most essential elements of modern construction, and with emerging technologies,
sustainable materials, and evolving building practices, we have more opportunities than ever to support and develop
the next generation of concrete professionals. In 2026, we will expand our education and training programs and
offer more accessible educational resources for both new entrants and seasoned experts.
3. Strengthening Industry Advocacy and Collaboration
Our collective voice matters. As regulations around construction, environmental standards, and materials continue
to evolve, SNCA will play a proactive role in shaping policy discussions and advocating for practical, sciencebased
approaches that support both innovation and industry viability. We will also continue to build strong relationships
with contractors, suppliers, engineers, and public agencies—because collaboration is what keeps our industry
advancing.
4. Advancing Sustainability and Innovation
The future of concrete is being defined right now—through new technologies, carbonreducing materials, and more
efficient production and placement methods. In 2026, we will spotlight sustainable practices, promote emerging
technologies, and highlight the innovations our members are already implementing. Together, we will help position
our region as a leader in responsible, forwardthinking concrete construction.
SNCA History
The Sierra Nevada Concrete Association (SNCA) was founded in 2000 when a group of concrete producers realized the need for a cooperative effort to promote their products throughout the region.
That original group, which numbered only 4 companies, started off on a journey that would eventually grow into Nevada and eastern California’s the pre-eminent regional concrete and concrete products association.
Today, with a membership of more than 30 companies, the SNCA is a multi-faceted trade association headquartered in Reno, NV. It represents companies in Nevada and California that produce ready-mixed concrete, cement, aggregate (limestone and sand), construction supplies, insulated concrete form homes, admixtures (chemicals) for concrete, and firms that provide technical engineering and certified testing of concrete pavements.
The vast majority of the commercial, residential and governmental building projects and the highway, street and airport pavement improvements that are constructed with concrete products annually are accomplished with materials produced by our members.
