Fairless Hills, PA – February 11, 2025 – Silvi Materials is proud to announce that Michael Welsh, one of our outstanding drivers based out of our Morrisville, PA, plant, has been named the 2025 Ready Mixed Concrete Delivery Professional Driver of the Year by the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA). This prestigious award honors Michael’s exceptional career achievements, unwavering commitment to safety, and his role as a leader and mentor within the concrete delivery industry.

Michael was selected by a national panel of judges from a competitive field of applicants representing some of the most skilled and dedicated drivers in the United States. His selection is a testament to his 18-year career marked by excellence, during which he has maintained an impeccable safety record, including zero at-fault rejected loads.

Michael holds multiple certifications, including being an ACI Certified Technician, NRMCA Certified Concrete Delivery Professional (CDP), and Smith System trained. He was also recognized as a Silvi Driver of the Year nominee in 2021, further solidifying his reputation as one of the best in the business.

A Leader and Mentor

Michael’s impact at Silvi Materials extends far beyond his exceptional driving skills. Steve Misko, Silvi Materials’ Morrisville Plant Manager, commended Michael for his expertise and leadership:

“Mike has not only mastered every aspect of plant operations but has also trained nearly every manager and assistant manager over the past 20 years, particularly on batching processes. He approaches every challenge with professionalism and is deeply respected by our entire team, especially our drivers, who look up to him for his guidance and leadership.”

This positive impact isn’t just limited to his colleagues—his professionalism and customer service leave a lasting impression on our clients as well. Rui Pereira of J.M. Pereira & Sons, Inc., shared:

“If I see Mike in his truck, I know I’m going to get great customer service. If I don’t see him, I know he’s probably back at the plant batching very consistent concrete. When the workers on site see him, they know their job will go smoothly with no headaches.”

Michael’s recognition as the NRMCA 2025 Driver of the Year highlights his dedication not only to his craft but also to the people he works with and serves every day. His ability to balance safety, efficiency, and excellence is what makes him such an integral part of the Silvi Materials family.

At Silvi Materials, we are incredibly proud to have team members like Michael Welsh who embody our core values of safety, professional excellence, and teamwork. His achievements are a reflection of the dedication and expertise that drive everything we do. Congratulations, Michael, on this well-deserved honor!
