With this award, the PCA recognises Associate Member company accomplishments in the advancement of cement manufacturing over the previous year. PCA Associate Members are suppliers, engineers, and consultants that support cement companies in the production of high quality cement in the most energy efficient and environmentally sound way possible. The awards recognise achievements in three main areas: innovative products, unique processes, and best-in-class practices. Entrants were presented to a panel of PCA member judges earlier this year during a joint meeting of the PCA Environment & Energy and Manufacturing Technical committees.
