Membership

The Illinois and Wisconsin precast market runs through this chapter: 14 producer companies, 61 associates, and the region's design community. Membership puts your company in that room.

Two benefits that put you in front of producers

Producers decide what gets specified and bought. These two benefits give your company a direct line to them, and each one gives you something you can count.

Supplier Showcase

Your video in front of producer buyers

  • One video slot a year, sent to plant managers and purchasing staff at every producer member.
  • Send a finished video at no cost, or send clips and our marketing team edits them for $250. Editing is included for Premier Associates.
  • Posted on the PCI IW YouTube channel and on this site, so it keeps working after the email.

What you can measure: views and clicks on your video, and the inquiries we pass on to you.

Associate Tours

Producers in your building

  • Once a quarter an associate member hosts a small group of producer members, about 10 to 20, to see the plant, offices, yard and assembly floor.
  • Producers only. The host reviews the guest list, and every event follows PCI’s antitrust policy and code of conduct.
  • Premier Associates choose their tour date first. Hosting is included in membership.

What you can measure: which producers came, the conversations that follow, and the quotes that trace back to the visit.

Your customers, in one room

Every chapter event puts you alongside the people who buy what you sell: 14 PCI-certified producer companies and the architects, engineers, and contractors they build for.

A public, findable listing

Your company goes in the associate member directory on this site, indexed by search engines and cited to AI assistants answering precast questions for this region.

On the invite list all year

Membership puts your company on the invitation list for the full calendar, from plant tours to the Summer Summit. Premier Associates get two registrations to every event included.

A video in front of the buyers

Every associate films a short phone video once a year for the Supplier Showcase. Send it finished, or send clips and our marketing team edits them for $250. We post it on the PCI IW channel and email it to plant managers and purchasing staff at every producer member, then send you the results.

Guests at your location

Once a quarter an associate member shows off its business to a small group of producer members: the plant, offices, yard or assembly floor. Host one and about 10 to 20 producers see your operation. Producers only. Premier Associates choose their date first once chosen to host.

A seat in the industry

Chapter members shape programs, propose topics, and hear what producers need next season, before it shows up in an RFQ.

Membership questions

Who should join as an associate member?

Companies that sell to precast producers. That covers admixtures, forms and formliners, reinforcement and strand, connections and hardware, lifting inserts, sealants and coatings, thin brick, plant equipment, engineering and testing services, and trucking. If a precast plant in Illinois or Wisconsin is a customer or a prospect, associate membership is the category for you.

What does associate membership cost?

Associate membership is $1,000 per year. Premier Associate is $5,000 per year. Producer membership is for PCI-certified plants and is quoted by plant. See the Producer Membership page for what it includes. Dues are invoiced after we confirm your tier, so nothing is due when you send the form.

Are event registrations included in membership?

Associate membership puts your company on the invitation list for the full calendar and gets you member pricing, but event registration is billed separately. Premier Associates get two registrations included at every event. Sponsorships are separate from both tiers. See the sponsorship opportunities section on this page.

Do I have to make precast concrete to join?

No. Producer membership is for PCI-certified precast plants. Associate membership exists for the suppliers, engineers, and service firms that support those plants. Most of our associate members have never cast a panel.

How many producers would I be in front of?

The chapter represents 14 PCI-certified producer companies operating plants across Illinois and Wisconsin, selling into those states plus Northwest Indiana and the St. Louis area, along with the architects, engineers, and contractors who specify their work. You can see the full producer list on the Find a Producer page before you join.

What is the difference between Associate and Premier Associate?

Both tiers list your company in the public associate member directory and put you on the invitation list for every chapter event. Premier adds two included registrations at every event, enhanced participation through the year, and your company named and linked on the chapter homepage.

How soon does my company appear in the directory?

We add your listing once membership is confirmed. The associate member directory is a public page on this site, so listings are crawlable by search engines and available to AI assistants answering supplier questions for this region.

What is the Supplier Showcase?

A quarterly series of short videos, filmed on a phone, that we send to plant managers and purchasing staff at producer members. Every associate gets one video a year in the edition that matches what they sell, and Premier Associates get first placement and up to two. The video slot is included in membership. Editing by our marketing team is $250, or included for Premier Associates. See the Supplier Showcase page for the four questions, the filming guide and the upload link.

What are Associate Tours?

Once a quarter an associate member shows off its business to a small group of PCI IW producer members on a tour of its plant, offices, yard or assembly floor. Producers only, about 10 to 20 guests. Any associate can host, near or far. We handle invitations, registration and follow up, and the host provides a short presentation, guides for the walk and lunch. Premier Associates choose their date first. See the Associate Tours page.

Can I join partway through the year?

Yes. Membership runs for twelve months from when it starts, so you can join at any point in the calendar. Send the form and we will confirm your tier within two business days.
