Once a company in the concrete products industry expresses interest in becoming a member of our buying cooperative, we fully explain how our business model operates. The prospective member commits to a simple CPC Member Agreement. This Agreement defines the responsibilities of each party.

Our fee is based on a small percentage of the member's supplier spend that is managed through CPC.

We establish supply agreements with best-in-breed suppliers in our industry to leverage the combined requirement from all members who agree to participate in each supply agreement. Once a member and supplier agree to do business under the terms of our Supplier Agreement, the member equally enjoys the commercial benefits provided all members. The member must agree to comply with the terms of the Agreement and ensure that promised business is actually placed with the supplier.

Buy-sell transactions are handled directly between our member and the supplier under the commercial umbrella of our Supply Agreement. Price points typically decline over 10%. Progressive cash rebates are provided by suppliers on a quarterly basis based upon the combined volume placed with that supply by all participating members.

CPC charges a small fee based upon a percentage of the member's spend with each supplier that is managed by CPC. Rebates are managed by CPC and fully documented to each member. We typically collect our fee from the rebates and provide the balance to our members.

CPC guarantees that cost reductions resulting from participating in our Supply Agreements will be greater than twice the fee for our services. There are no up-front fees for joining our cooperative - we just insist on a sincere commitment to meet all responsibilities as outlined in the Member Agreement. We operate to the highest level of ethical business standards and maintain absolute credibility with both members and suppliers to conduct all business in a fair and ethical manner.
