Mercer Fraser Co., a construction materials producer and heavy civil contractor, is headquartered in Fortuna, California, serving the surrounding communities. Mercer Fraser Co. maintains associations with many organizations, including Shasta Builder's Exchange, the California Asphalt Pavement Association, and the National Asphalt Pavement Association.
The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) supports and advocates for the asphalt pavement industry on a national level. NAPA carries out its mission in a variety of ways. The organization supports the industry through offering education, advice, and peer engagement to companies as well as advocates by engaging and collaborating with decision-makers such as Congress.
One of NAPA’s goals is to advance the asphalt pavement industry by engaging in research and innovation, and promoting safe and environmentally sustainable operations. The industry, according to a recent survey in 2019, produces materials that are America’s most recycled product. In fact, 97 million tons of reclaimed asphalt pavements were recovered for future use. To this, NAPA’s Chairman responded, “NAPA [is] committed to building and maintaining our country’s infrastructure [through] recycling, sustainability, and concern for our environment.”
