Ryan Cialdella Named NRMCA Buildings Promoter of the Year

Ozinga’s VP of Innovation and Market Development Ryan Cialdella was recognized by the National Ready Mix Concrete Association for his extraordinary contributions to ready mix concrete promotion. At the NRMCA 2024 annual conference, he was named the NRMCA Buildings Promoter of the Year, a prestigious award given to industry professionals who have demonstrated excellence, leadership, and dedication in promoting ready mix concrete over at least five years. 

Cialdella’s innovation in this area made him an excellent candidate for the award. Over five years ago, he developed Ozinga’s successful Parking Lot Design Program, a free service designed to promote concrete as a competitive option for parking lot projects. In addition, he has contributed to Ozinga’s sustainability mission by empowering his team to offer custom sustainable mixes, educate clientele on lower embodied carbon solutions, develop the CarbonSense® line of concrete mixes, and oversaw creation of the carbon savings calculator tool.  

Cialdella also contributes his expertise to the industry by speaking at events like the AIA Annual Convention, IRMCA Annual Meeting, Carbon Capture Summit, NRMCA ConcreteWorks, Carbon Leadership Forum, and IMPACT Regional Green Conference. Beyond this, he has promoted concrete by being involved with the Illinois Ready Mix Concrete Association in the capacity of member, board member, and former president of the association. 

Ozinga is very proud of Cialdella’s achievement and grateful for his contributions to make a positive impact as one of our coworkers. Congratulations, Ryan!
