Council Bluffs, IA – [September 30, 2025]

Forza Inc., a premier family-owned manufacturer of purpose-built industrial adhesives, tapes, and sealants, proudly announces its membership in the Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA), the international nonprofit trade association dedicated to advancing the global tilt-up concrete construction industry.

Founded in 1986, the TCA serves as the central voice for the tilt-up concrete construction community, advocating for greater demand, higher quality standards, and continuous innovation. By joining, Forza reaffirms its long-standing commitment to delivering high-performance bonding and sealing solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern construction professionals.

ELEVATING STANDARDS THROUGH PARTNERSHIP

"Forza has always been driven by a relentless focus on innovation, quality, and customer collaboration," said Rick Glenn, Owner and General Manager of Forza.

This is about building smarter, stronger, and faster — together."

The TCA offers members a powerful platform of advocacy, education, and shared resources, all aimed at raising the bar for tilt-up concrete construction. Forza's participation adds decades of specialized adhesive formulation expertise to the conversation, paired with a reputation for agility and customer-driven innovation.

WHY TILT-UP CONCRETE IS CHANGING THE GAME

Tilt-up concrete isn't just another building method; it's redefining how structures are designed and built. Here's why the industry is rapidly shifting in its favor:

  • Speed of Construction – Large panels are cast on-site and lifted into place, reducing build times compared to traditional masonry or steel framing.
  • Cost Efficiency – Fewer labor hours and streamlined processes mean tilt-up projects can save up to 15–30% on total construction costs.
  • Strength & Durability – Tilt-up walls offer exceptional resilience, with superior performance in wind, fire, and seismic conditions.
  • Sustainability – Locally sourced materials and reduced transport demands make tilt-up one of the most environmentally responsible construction methods.
  • Design Flexibility – Advances in formwork, finishes, and engineering allow for striking architectural possibilities once thought impossible with concrete.

As adoption grows, tilt-up is becoming the preferred method for warehouses, schools, office buildings, and even complex architectural projects, steadily replacing outdated approaches.
