News British Precast merges with the Mineral Products Association

British Precast merges with the Mineral Products Association

Written by Global Cement staff 19 January 2022

UK: British Precast, whose members include manufacturers of concrete masonry, paving slabs, structural sections and drainage systems, has merged with the Mineral Products Association (MPA) which represents all the UK’s cement makers, over 90% of aggregates producers and more than 70% of ready-mixed concrete suppliers. The merger is intended to give the British concrete industry a single voice, with the sector’s advocacy body, UK Concrete, lobbying on behalf of the sector on sustainability issues. It should also unite the industry behind the ‘Roadmap to Beyond Net Zero’ plan by 2050.

Alan Smith, who retires as President of British Precast, said, “British Precast has been affiliated with the MPA for the past decade and the successful relationship we have built has given our members the confidence to fully support this merger. Coming together enables the industry to operate more strategically, rejuvenating our determination to rise to the challenges of climate change and emphasise the importance of our industry in climate adaptation.”

Two new MPA product groups have been formed as a result of the merger: MPA Precast and MPA Masonry. They join existing MPA product groups including The Concrete Centre and the British Ready-mixed Concrete Association (BRMCA).
