16 January 2003

Ft Lauderdale, FL – ECO-Block, LLC, the second-largest U.S. supplier of insulating concrete forms (ICFs), has joined with the Portland Cement Association in support of Team Concrete. This initiative of the cement and concrete industries is designed to offer the benefits of high-quality, energy-efficient concrete homes through partnerships with affordable housing programs nationwide.

“ECO-Block’s support of Team Concrete reflects our commitment to local community development and our wish to help families across America,” said Jennifer Hansell, ECO-Block director of marketing administration. “We plan to work hard to strengthen the program wherever ECO-Block has manufacturing facilities, sales and support staff and distributors.”

Team Concrete brings the many advantages of high-quality concrete homes to affordable housing projects. Team Concrete members include national, regional and local cement and concrete-related associations, product suppliers, contractors, designers and consultants. They work with communities and other public and private entities to improve housing and public and private infrastructure through education, promotion and charitable enterprises.

ECO-Block offers a cost-effective solution for building energy-efficient housing that also has the advantages of unsurpassed protection from extreme weather, exceptional insulating values (making it up to eight-times quieter) and maximum durability. The energy efficiency can result in significant monthly savings to homeowners.

“Savings in energy consumption frees up money that families can use to meet other financial obligations,” said Hansell. “Concrete homes are good investments – both initially and over time.”

As a Team Concrete member, ECO-Block and its national network of distributors will provide expertise, labor, products and services to affordable housing initiatives. More information on Team Concrete can be found at teamconcrete.org or by calling 800.597.9357 FREE.
