Portland Cement Association is a non-profit organization that promotes the use of cement and concrete. The organization conducts and sponsors research,^[2] participates in setting cement manufacturing standards,^[3]^[4] and disseminates free designs of concrete-based architectural structures,^[5] among other functions.

History

PCA's origin dates back to 1902, following a meeting of cement manufacturers in the eastern U.S. who assembled to discuss problems with cement packaging.^[6] At the time, cement was packaged in reusable cloth sacks that were returned to the manufacturer, but that created problems for consumers.^[7] On October 1, 1902, this issue prompted the formation of a temporary organization that would represent all the manufacturers involved.^[8] The organization was unofficially called "the Eastern Portland Cement Manufacturers."^[1] The organization was formally established and its constitution and by-laws adopted by the representatives of 20 cement companies in New York on October 23, 1902,^[1] and renamed the Association of Portland Cement Manufacturers.^[9]

In 1916, as the Association entered into a contract with the Lewis Institute to conduct joint research in concrete, it was renamed again to the Portland Cement Association, and its headquarters moved from Philadelphia to Chicago.^[10]
