LafargeHolcim (Paris:LHN):
LafargeHolcim has acquired Metro Mix, LLC, a leading provider of
ready-mix concrete in the Denver metropolitan area in Colorado.
With Metro Mix, LafargeHolcim further strengthens its position in
the United States, where it is already present with operations in
cement, ready-mix concrete, aggregates and asphalt.
Jan Jenisch, CEO of LafargeHolcim: “This is our fourth
acquisition this year in line with our Strategy 2022 – ‘Building
for Growth’. Metro Mix’ operations are highly complementary to our
existing footprint and will allow us to gain a larger share in a
growing market with immediate commercial and operational synergies.
I very much welcome all employees of Metro Mix to our company.”
Metro Mix operates two ready-mix concrete plants and reported
net sales of around USD 30 million in 2017. The company has more
than 50 employees and operates in one of the fastest growing areas
in the US where population growth until 2020 will be above average
and demand for building materials is expected to remain strong
driven by large construction projects.
