Fairless Hills, PA – January 30, 2025 – Silvi Materials is proud to announce that Jacob Ables, Director of Concrete Promotion, has been named the 2025 Promoter of the Year – Pavements by the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA). This prestigious award recognizes outstanding contributions to concrete pavement promotion by an employee of an NRMCA Producer member.

With a dedication to advancing concrete pavement solutions, Ables has played a pivotal role in expanding the use of conventional concrete, pervious concrete, and roller-compacted concrete across the industry. His efforts include leading Silvi’s pavement supply and construction initiatives and serving as Vice-Chair of the NRMCA Pavement Promotion Sub-Committee.

Since September 2023, Ables has submitted 36 projects for NRMCA / Pave Ahead design assistance, actively educating engineering firms on the benefits of concrete pavements through ACI 330 and PavementDesigner.org. His work has led to more than a dozen “Lunch & Learn” sessions and the creation of a promotional video highlighting how Silvi Materials collaborates with the NRMCA to advance concrete pavements.

Reflecting on this honor, Ables emphasized the collective effort behind successful pavement projects:

“I am deeply honored to be selected as NRMCA’s Promoter of the Year – Pavements for 2025. This recognition is a testament to the incredible teamwork at Silvi Materials. I want to thank Luke McHugh and Phil Kresge of NRMCA for their support and guidance, as well as Larry Silvi II and Larry Silvi III for providing a platform to make our promotional efforts successful. Most importantly, I extend my gratitude to our operations, quality control, and logistics teams for consistently delivering a quality product to our customers.”

A dedicated industry leader, Ables is also a strong proponent of concrete education. A graduate of the Concrete Industry Management (CIM) program, he actively supports the CIM program at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), where he serves as an adjunct instructor. His advocacy aims to strengthen the next generation of concrete professionals and elevate industry standards.

Silvi Materials proudly celebrates Jacob Ables for this well-earned achievement. His dedication to concrete pavement education, innovation, and industry growth continues to make a lasting impact. We commend Jacob for his hard work, leadership, and steadfast commitment to advancing concrete solutions.
