CRH agreed to acquire US construction services company Arcosa for $8.5 billion, the largest deal in CRH's history.
CRH just did something it has never done before: a single deal bigger than $4 billion. The $8.5 billion Arcosa acquisition makes CRH the largest US aggregates producer at 265 million tons per year, and positions it as the vertically integrated one-stop shop for US construction.
Following the Arcosa deal, CRH becomes the largest US aggregates producer at approximately 265 million tons per year.
CRH made approximately 38 acquisitions in the prior year, totaling about $4 billion, mostly bolt-on deals before the record Arcosa transaction.
CRH is currently working on over 100 data center projects, representing a growing high-demand growth avenue.
Aggregates — the crushed stone, sand, and gravel used in roads and concrete — maintain pricing power even when cement and asphalt decline. In down cycles, aggregates still grow prices. That's the rarest quality in building materials and why CRH is doubling down.
