What Oldcastle APG does
Oldcastle APG is a manufacturer and distributor of exterior building and outdoor living products serving professional builders, contractors, dealers, and homeowners across the United States and Canada. The company operates through a portfolio of more than 20 acquired and retained sub-brands — Belgard (hardscapes/paver systems), PebbleTec (pool finishes and tile), Sakrete (packaged concrete), Catalyst (fencing), RDI (railings), Echelon Masonry, Amerimix, Techniseal, Barrette Outdoor Living, Bufftech, SimTek, Elements Home, and others — organized across six exterior categories: outdoor flooring, shade/security/privacy, landscaping, backyard features, set/seal/repair, and wall surfaces. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Oldcastle APG operates 200+ manufacturing and distribution locations with approximately 8,500 employees, making it the largest producer of architectural building products in North America.
The business is built on a "foundation-to-finish" specification model, with proprietary technologies including CoolDeck (heat-reducing composite decking), AlumiCast (surface technology for fencing/railing), PebbleTec Glass Tile, and the Catalyst AR visualization and instant estimating tool for contractors. Enterprise systems run on Infor Cloud ERP hosted on AWS with Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL and 50+ real-time analytics dashboards. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CRH Plc (NYSE: CRH), one of the largest global building materials groups.
Revenue is generated through hardware sales of manufactured outdoor products to dealers, retailers, and direct contractor/builders, supplemented by digital design services through the Yardzen online landscape design platform. Go-to-market combines channel/dealer partners with direct enterprise field sales targeting professional builders, contractors, and architects/designers across residential and commercial outdoor projects. Distribution leverages a dense North American manufacturing footprint for same-day/next-day delivery. Pricing is set through dealer and distributor networks and is not publicly disclosed; the Yardzen platform extends revenue capture upstream into design services.
