Ready Mix USA

What Ready Mix USA does

Ready Mix USA is a regional ready-mix concrete producer and distributor headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, operating more than 80 plant and distribution locations with a fleet of over 600 concrete trucks across five Southeastern states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee). The company supplies professional contractors and self-builders across commercial, industrial/infrastructure, residential, DIY, and municipal end-markets, with named reference projects spanning healthcare facilities, university stadium expansions, large-scale mixed-use developments, and automotive manufacturing plant expansions.

The company's product offering combines conventional ready-mix concrete with a proprietary and inherited specialty portfolio developed or licensed by parent CEMEX, including Arcanum (low-shrink concrete for polished floors and overlays), Polypropylene Fiber Concrete (crack- and permeability-resistant mixes), Steel Fiber Concrete (structural reinforcement replacing conventional rebar), Internal Waterproof Concrete (integral waterproofing positioned at ~25% of external-system cost per square foot), Pervia (permeable concrete for stormwater management), and Resilia (internally reinforced concrete for joint-less floors). Operations are supported by quality control laboratories and R&D capabilities, and customers can plan orders through an online Concrete Calculator supporting slab, footing, and curb estimation.

Ready Mix USA generates revenue through one-time transactional sales of concrete by the cubic yard or project order, with pricing quoted on a per-project basis through six regional offices (North Alabama, Atlanta, Central Alabama, East Tennessee, Gulf Coast, Wiregrass). Distribution is direct via the owned truck fleet and plant network, augmented by the CEMEX Go digital platform for account management. Since 2010, the company has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CEMEX (NYSE: CX), a publicly traded multinational building materials company, leveraging parent-level procurement, proprietary technology, and brand credibility while maintaining a regional go-to-market identity.

Products and services

• Arcanum Low-shrink concrete design minimizing potential for cracking outside the design jointing. Proven 100% successful, used for polished floors in schools, residential, and commercial settings, pool decks and patios, hollow-core overlays, and thin topping overlays. Available to contractors and self-builders in the Southeastern US.
• Polypropylene Fiber Concrete Ready-mix concrete with thousands of individual polypropylene fibers evenly dispersed during mixing, forming a matrix-like structure. Reduces plastic shrinkage cracking, improves durability, reduces permeability, and decreases plastic settlement cracking over rebar. Targeted at contractors requiring crack-resistant and durable concrete.
• Steel Fiber Concrete Proprietary structural designs incorporating steel fiber to increase usable working loads while reducing overall in-place cost. Includes engineering services for value engineering new or in-progress projects including floor/paving systems and walls, providing load values for structural engineers.
• Internal Waterproof Concrete Proprietary structural designs with internal waterproofing that eliminate the cost and time required for older external waterproofing systems. Cost per square foot can be 25% of typical external systems. Designed for below-grade and water-exposed structural applications.
• Pervia Innovative permeable concrete solution for water management in construction projects. Provides high permeability as well as structural performance suitable for heavy traffic road conditions. Used for stormwater management and sustainable infrastructure.
• Resilia Internally reinforced concrete solution addressing challenges where high ductility is required, offering joint-less floor capability. Commonly used to eliminate conventional rebar reinforcing while cost-efficiently providing improved load capacity, ductility, curling resistance, and finish.
• Concrete Calculator Online estimating tool that helps customers calculate cubic yards of concrete required for slab, footing, and curb projects. Used by contractors and DIY builders for project planning prior to placing orders.

• Martin Marietta Materials: Top-tier US aggregates and ready-mix concrete producer with a national footprint. Directly comparable as a vertically integrated heavy-side building materials operator supplying similar commercial, residential, and infrastructure customers.
• Holcim US (LafargeHolcim): US arm of global building-materials giant LafargeHolcim, operating cement plants, aggregates, and ready-mix concrete operations. Comparable as a full-line, multinational-owned supplier competing for the same large-project bids.
• Summit Materials: Vertically integrated construction materials company with aggregates, cement, and ready-mix concrete operations across the US. Comparable as a multi-product heavy-side operator with overlapping customer base.
• Lehigh Hanson: US subsidiary of HeidelbergCement, one of the largest cement, aggregates, and ready-mix concrete producers in North America. Comparable as a multinational-owned full-line competitor with similar product breadth and project-scale capabilities.
• Quikrete Holdings: Largest manufacturer of packaged concrete and cementitious products in the US with vertically integrated aggregates and ready-mix operations. Comparable as a full-line concrete products competitor, though more focused on bagged/retail and pre-mixed products than bulk ready-mix.

Direct peers

• U.S. Concrete (now part of Vulcan Materials): Pre-acquisition, U.S. Concrete was one of the largest US ready-mix concrete producers with comparable plant-and-truck operating model serving similar commercial, residential, and infrastructure end markets.

• Argos USA: Cement and ready-mix concrete producer with significant Southeastern US presence. Directly comparable as a regional-to-national ready-mix competitor with similar product mix and customer profile.
• Thomas Concrete: Family-owned ready-mix concrete supplier operating across the Southeastern US (Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee). Closest direct regional peer with overlapping geography, similar product focus, and comparable customer segments.

Regional players

• Chaney Enterprises: Mid-Atlantic and Southeast ready-mix concrete and aggregates supplier. Comparable as a regional pure-play ready-mix operator serving similar contractor customers, though operating in a different primary geography.
