The acquisitions represent the first entry by CRH’s Materials Solutions business into California and enhance its ability to provide integrated solutions to customers in the Northern California market.
Both companies complement CRH’s Materials Solutions business in the Western U.S. and add two aggregate quarries, two ready-mix concrete plants, one asphalt plant, and one recycle plant to its operations.
