Company Recognized
With NRMCA Specialty Graphics Award

This awards honors the best ready mixed concrete truck paint and decal schemes, and recognizes individual company’s methods of promoting professionalism and positive public image for the industry. Cosponsored by Concrete Products magazine and the OES Committee, the award winners were determined by voting at the NRMCA 2010 Fall Conference in Charlotte, NC, and a panel of industry consultants and equipment representatives. Awards were given in three separate classes: by company size, specialty truck designs and antique trucks.

Chandler Concrete was recognized for our green, environmental awareness paint scheme that we have started using to raise awareness of the “green friendly” attributes of ready mixed concrete. The truck graphics are attention grabbing as they make their way through traffic and deliver our product at jobsites throughout our markets.

Chandler Concrete Company was recently honored with receiving the very prestigious Carolinas AGC Pinnacle Award for Best Supplier/Service Company.

Bob Chandler, Vice President of Sales & Marketing was very excited and honored to accept the Pinnacle Award on behalf of all Chandler employees. Bob stated “This award would not have happened without the dedication and support of our entire company. Our goal is to always supply the best ready mixed concrete whenever and wherever needed, no matter how large or small the job. We strive to continually give our customers the best customer service and satisfaction they deserve for all their concrete needs.”

The first Pinnacle Awards were presented in 1992 after contractor members of the Carolinas AGC’s Strategic Plan Task Force envisioned a program honoring “the best of the best” in the Carolinas construction industry. Over the years, the program’s structure has moved to limit the number of winners. Today, there are Pinnacle-level winners in three categories, with no runners-up in order to uphold the standard of excellence that has become the tradition of the Pinnacle Awards.

Chandler Concrete Company takes great pride in its accomplishment of winning a Pinnacle Award from the Carolinas AGC. We thank all our employees and customers for their support.
