The Texas Aggregates & Concrete Association (TACA) has confirmed Andrew S. Pinkerton will become its new president and chief executive officer.
Pinkerton joins the TACA after an extensive career in the construction materials industry, including a stint at the Cement Council of Texas as an executive director.
“Andrew’s extensive background in the construction materials industry, combined with his proven association leadership, makes him the ideal person to guide TACA into the future,” TACA board of directors chair Rich S. Szecsy said.
“His passion for delivering value to member companies – along with his commitment and advocacy for safety, sustainability and the communities where we operate and ultimately build – will strengthen our industry and benefit the great state of Texas.”
Pinkerton has experience from roles at US Concrete Inc. and Texas Industries Inc., as well as bachelor’s degrees in marketing and management from the University of Oklahoma.
“I have always believed that strong associations are the cornerstone of a strong industry,” Pinkerton said.
“As Texas continues to grow each day, our industry plays a critical role in aligning population growth with a sustainably built environment, the conservation of natural resources and continuing to deliver the materials that satisfy the state’s unprecedented demand for aggregates and concrete.
“I am honored to advocate for the safe, resilient infrastructure and advanced mobility solutions our members provide today – and for generations of Texans to come.”
