The American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) announced Glenn Eder as the 2024 winner of the Hartmann-Hirschman-Egan Award. This award recognizes individuals or organizations for unparalleled commitment, dedication, participation and leadership in the concrete pavement community.

Eder retired from infrastructure product supplier American Highway in 2022. From 1986 to 1998 he owned and was the president of Contractors Steel & Accessories, located in the Chicago suburbs. After his company was purchased by Ersco Corporation in 1998, he served as the vice president and division manager of paving supplies until 2007.

Eder went on to work for another load transfer manufacturer, Block Heavy & Highway, from 2007 until 2011, when that company was acquired by Dayton Superior. Eder made his name within the Dayton Superior organization from 2011 to 2015, where he served as the sales manager of paving products.

In 2015 he transitioned from Dayton Superior to JC Supply, growing its business as the vice president of marketing and business development until JC supply was purchased by American Highway in December 2020. In 2021, Eder took over the role of vice president of technical sales.

"Glenn was a valued member of the ACPA board of directors for many years and is considered a trusted advisor and friend. Once again, the members have chosen to honor a gentleman and a legend in our industry," said Laura O'Neill Kaumo, president and CEO of the American Concrete Pavement Association.

"The more than 40 years of contribution, value, and fantastic personality that Glenn has brought to the entire concrete paving industry make him more than deserving of this award. Glenn and I worked together at different times across our careers, my first interaction with him being at Ersco, where I was his salesman from Dayton Superior. Throughout my career I have considered Glenn a mentor, and our business relationship has grown into a personal friendship," said Ron Meskis, CEO, American Highway.

The Hartmann-Hirschman-Egan Award award was first presented in 1968. At that time, it was named in honor of Harold W. Hartmann, the Association's secretary-treasurer from 1964 until 1974. In 1987, Robert E. Hirschman's name was added in recognition of his term as the association's chairman (then president) in 1967, as well as his tenure as secretary-treasurer from 1975 to 1987. In 2007, the name of Edward A. Egan was added for his service as ACPA's chairman in 1986, as well as secretary-treasurer from 1988 to 2007.
