SRM Concrete

What SRM Concrete does

SRM Concrete (legal entity Smyrna Ready Mix Concrete, LLC) is a family-owned ready-mix concrete manufacturer founded in 1999 in Smyrna, Tennessee by Mike and Melissa Hollingshead. The company is the largest privately owned ready-mix concrete manufacturer in the United States, operating 563 concrete plants across 24 states and 40 regions with a workforce of approximately 8,500 team members. SRM serves commercial construction (high-rises, data centers, stadiums, infrastructure), residential construction (foundations, driveways, subdivisions), and the DIY homeowner segment, supplying named enterprise projects for clients including JP Morgan, Hyundai, Facebook/Meta, Amazon, and the Nashville Airport expansion.

The company operates a vertically integrated materials platform spanning aggregates (SRM Materials, 33 quarries), bulk cement distribution (Hollingshead Cement, 12 terminals, 526 tankers, 417 railcars), concrete masonry units (SRM Block), concrete pumping services (SRM Pumping), marine transportation (Hollingshead Harbor across ports in Alabama, Florida, Michigan, Tennessee, and Texas), and custom front-discharge mixer truck manufacturing (Hollingshead Mixer Company, 224 trucks built in 2025 from an 80,000-square-foot facility in Avilla, Indiana). The product portfolio spans standard ready-mix, performance mixes reaching 18,000 psi (STEELFOOT, CONSOLICRETE, TEMPCRETE, EZ-DRIVE, WALLCRETE, FLOWP RO, PUMPCRETE, EZ-DRAIN), decorative concrete, and stocked construction accessories. Digital layers include the SRM 360 customer portal for real-time delivery tracking, invoicing, and online ordering, and a strategic Verifi partnership for in-transit concrete management.

Revenue is generated through quote-based, transaction-fee pricing under Net 30 commercial credit terms across all operating divisions, with no published pricing or revenue figures (the company is privately held). Growth has been executed through a roll-up strategy, with 100+ acquisitions completed since 2012 layered onto organic plant openings; go-to-market is hybrid — regional field sales organized by state and division target enterprise contractors and developers, while SRM 360 and online ordering serve smaller transactional customers. Leadership remains within the Hollingshead family: Mike Hollingshead as Founder/Chairman, Jeff Hollingshead as CEO since 2014, and Ryan Hollingshead as President of SRM Materials.

Direct peers

• CalPortland: Major West Coast producer of ready-mix concrete, cement, aggregates, and concrete products. Comparable to SRM as a vertically integrated regional ready-mix and cement operator, though primarily serving California, Arizona, Nevada, and Pacific Northwest rather than SRM's southeastern/Midwest core.
• Holcim US: US arm of global building materials giant Holcim Ltd, operating integrated cement, ready-mix concrete, and aggregates businesses across multiple states. Direct competitor in ready-mix and aggregates with comparable vertical integration to SRM, and a major customer for similar infrastructure and commercial projects.
• Cemex: Global building materials company with significant US ready-mix concrete operations, cement plants, and aggregates. Directly comparable to SRM as a vertically integrated producer serving the same enterprise commercial and infrastructure customer base, though at much larger scale and with public-market capital.
• Quikrete: Largest manufacturer of packaged concrete products in North America, also operating ready-mix plants and aggregates operations. Directly comparable to SRM in ready-mix concrete production, with additional exposure to packaged goods and concrete repair products that overlap with SRM Block.
• Cementos Argos USA: US operations of Colombian cement and ready-mix producer Argos; SRM has acquired multiple Argos plant divestitures (24 DFW plants in 2021, 18 NC/FL plants in 2022, Panhandle division in 2018). Remaining Argos USA ready-mix and cement operations are direct competitors to SRM in southeastern and Gulf states.

Broad incumbents

• Heidelberg Materials North America: North American arm of Heidelberg Materials, operating cement, ready-mix concrete, aggregates, and asphalt across multiple US states. Directly competes with SRM in ready-mix and cement distribution, with comparable vertical integration though broader international footprint.
• Lehigh Hanson: North American subsidiary of Heidelberg Materials, operating cement plants, ready-mix concrete, aggregates, and asphalt. Directly competes with SRM in ready-mix and cement, with significant Northeast and Midwest presence that overlaps with SRM's expanding footprint in those regions.
• Martin Marietta Materials: Major US producer of aggregates (crushed stone, sand, gravel) with growing ready-mix concrete and cement exposure. Comparable to SRM in aggregates (SRM Materials division) and ready-mix, though Martin Marietta is more aggregates-weighted and serves as a key supplier/competitor to ready-mix operators in shared markets.
• Vulcan Materials Company: Largest producer of construction aggregates in the US, also operates ready-mix concrete through legacy U.S. Concrete acquisition. Comparable to SRM in aggregates and ready-mix, though Vulcan's primary business is aggregates and it operates across a broader public-company portfolio of products and geographies.
• CRH plc (Ash Grove Cement): Global building materials group with US cement operations formerly under Ash Grove Cement brand, plus ready-mix and aggregates across multiple states. Comparable to SRM in vertically integrated construction materials, with SRM having acquired assets previously divested by CRH/Aggregate Industries in shared markets.
