TEXAS – Three months after announcing a deal to expand its Texas footprint, Ireland-based CRH plc closed on a $2.1 billion acquisition of several South and Central Texas assets for the production and distribution of cement and concrete from Martin Marietta Materials Inc.
The company took ownership of the Hunter Cement Plant in New Braunfels, cement terminals in the Houston and San Antonio regions, and 20 concrete plants in San Antonio, Austin, Bastrop, and Round Rock.
CRH sells construction materials for public and private projects, with public infrastructure work being 40 percent of the company’s business.
