Aggregate Industries Inc
Aggregate Industries operates seven regional
construction materials businesses in the United States. These
regional businesses participate in all sectors of the construction
industry, supplying aggregates-based materials and contracting
services to a wide range of projects including large, publicly
financed infrastructure projects, commercial, and residential
developments.
The core business of producing crushed stone and sand and gravel is
enhanced by added value operations that produce ready-mixed
concrete, asphalt, and concrete products. In addition, recycling,
liquid asphalt, soil remediation and retailing businesses are also
undertaken, creating true, vertically integrated businesses.
