RCM joins NEx, an ACI Center of Excellence for Nonmetallic Building Materials, to support collaboration and the advancement of nonmetallic construction.

RCM is pleased to announce that it has joined NEx: An ACI Center of Excellence for Nonmetallic Building Materials.

NEx brings together manufacturers, researchers, engineers, and other industry participants working to advance the use of nonmetallic materials in construction. Its work supports research, education, awareness, and the development of practical resources for the industry.

The relationship between RCM and NEx has developed over time. Egor Litvinov, Business Development Manager at RCM, has participated in NEx activities since the organization’s earliest days. Formal membership is a natural next step that reflects RCM’s long-standing support for NEx and its work.

“Egor has been involved with NEx for many years and has consistently supported our efforts to advance nonmetallic materials in construction,” said Jerzy Z. Zemajtis, PhD, PE, Executive Director of NEx. “We are pleased to welcome RCM as a member and look forward to a productive collaboration that brings practical industry experience to our growing community.”

“I have been involved in NEx activities since the beginning, and I have seen the valuable work the organization has already done for our industry,” said Egor Litvinov, Business Development Manager at RCM. “Joining NEx as a company is a natural and important step for RCM. We see a bright future ahead and look forward to a fruitful collaboration with this outstanding organization.”

For RCM, joining NEx is a natural extension of our work as a manufacturer and nationwide distributor of fiberglass rebar and mesh. Participation gives our team another opportunity to exchange knowledge with industry leaders, contribute practical manufacturing and distribution experience, and support the responsible growth of nonmetallic reinforcement.

RCM values NEx’s contribution to research, education, industry awareness, and collaboration. We look forward to working with the NEx community as the use of fiberglass reinforcement and other nonmetallic construction materials continues to grow.
