Our New Brand is

The ACPA's rebrand is more than just a logo and colors--it's who we are.  See how the story comes together below.

The industry has changed.

So have we.

The world around us is constantly evolving.  Rapidly growing communities, increases in extreme weather events, and new demands and requirements put forth by transportation agencies, public officials, and builders have required our country's infrastructure to change along with them. 

As the demands and requirements have evolved, so have we.  Improvements to ad mixtures, more efficient production methods, and increased product quality have continued to make concrete pipe and box culverts even more resilient and sustainable than ever before.  To align with these changes, we decided to change our brand.  With a new brand that is bolder, stronger, and tells a story, we want people to know that concrete pipe and box culverts are more than just old grey products.

WE ARE MORE THAN OLD GREY PRODUCTS

Sure concrete is old--humans have been using concrete for thousands of years--and it typically is grey--you can thank the cement and other materials for that--but concrete, concrete pipes, and box culverts are so much more.  From being an integral part of our infrastructure and evacuation routes to being an innovative and sustainable, we are so much more than old and grey.

Integral

Concrete pipes are integral to our infrastructure.  Used to move stormwater and placed under evacuation routes, concrete pipes and box culverts are proven to be the longest-lasting and most durable products that keep society and communities moving forward during some of the most trying times.

Resilient

No other product in its class is as resilient as concrete pipe or box culverts.  With the ability to retain its functionality and structural capacity during fires, floods, and other disasters, concrete pipe provides the peace of mind to communities and the people that rely on it the most during the most trying times. 

Sustainable

Concrete is the most durable and sustainable material for infrastructure and major construction.  Its strength, durability, and long-life minimizes the material impacts on the environment, maintenance requirements, and the energy needed for product replacement.  

Innovative

Although the look of it has not changed a lot, concrete pipes and box culverts are extremely innovative.  From new concrete mix designs that allow highly-customizable designs, to new reinforcement methods, to different joint options, and better production, quality, and standards, concrete pipe is as innovative as it is integral to our infrastructure.  

Community Builders

Producers of concrete pipe and box culverts are deeply integrated into the communities they serve.  Contributing to the economy through good paying and stable jobs as well as sourcing as many materials locally as possible, the communities producers are a part of are the communities they have helped build.

The changes to the ACPA’s brand identity are as much of a modernization of our brand as it is a reflection of the changing landscape of the market. The ACPA has been in existence for 115 years and so much has changed in the quality, strength, and resilience of our product—and we wanted these updates to be a direct indicator to the market that the ACPA and our members are evolving with the times.
