CRH has acquired Dutra Materials, expanding its American footprint, especially in northern California.   

The acquisition expands CRH’s presence in California after it entered the market earlier this year. Under the terms of the agreement, CRH gains strategic aggregate reserves and asphalt production capabilities to service the northern Californian market. 

“We are excited to expand our presence in California and further enhance our ability to provide integrated solutions to customers in this attractive market,” said Scott Parson, president of CRH CRH Americas Materials Solutions. 

“We are delighted to welcome Dutra Materials into the CRH family. Following our entry into the state of California earlier this year via the acquisitions.  

“As North America’s leading integrated supplier of aggregates, asphalt and ready mixed concrete, we look forward to helping build, connect and improve Northern California and serving customers with our unique combination of building materials, products and solutions.”  

Earlier this year, CRH acquired BoDean Company and Northgate Readymix, which added two aggregates quarries, two ready-mixed concrete plants, one asphalt plant, and one recycle plant to CRH’s portfolio.   

“The construction market in California is one of the largest in the United States and presents CRH with attractive opportunities for development and growth,” Parson said at the time.
