NEx envisions a future where everyone has the knowledge needed to use nonmetallic building materials effectively to meet the demands of a changing world.

As a standalone subsidiary of the American Concrete Institute with its own Board of Directors, Steering Committee and committees, NEx leverages the resources and relationships of ACI to further its mission.

"Aramco has been developing and deploying nonmetallic solutions within our own operations for more than 20 years as they offer superior lifecycle cost, efficiency and environmental advantages over their metal alternatives. The potential for using nonmetallic advanced polymetric materials however, goes way beyond the oil and gas sector and includes the building and construction industries where there is significant potential. That is why this new Center of Excellence for Nonmetallic Building Materials offers enormous and exciting opportunities."
