Descriptiontext

Blue Water Industries LLC is a privately held aggregates producer headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. The company extracts and supplies construction aggregates — primarily limestone and sand — from a network of quarries across the Southeastern United States, supplemented by hot mix asphalt plants and, through its Hoover Inc. subsidiary, paving and grading services. Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) certification at the SDI Quarry in Florida City enables supply into Miami and the Florida Keys, a regulatory credentialing position that distinguishes the company for state infrastructure bidding. Distribution is supported by port and terminal facilities at Cape Canaveral (Florida), Savannah (Georgia), and Tampa Redwing (Florida), providing both over-the-road and waterway logistics into Southeast construction markets.

The company generates revenue through B2B one-time sales of aggregates and related materials to construction contractors, infrastructure developers, and government transportation departments. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with new B2B relationships initiated through a credit application process and existing customers served via a HighRadius-powered customer portal. Sales contacts are listed by quarry site, reflecting a direct, relationship-driven go-to-market model concentrated in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina.

Operationally, Blue Water has pursued an acquisition-led growth strategy since 2017, absorbing Atlantic Civil/SDI Quarry (2017), Aggregates USA's Tennessee and Virginia assets (2017), and Hoover Inc. (2018). In February 2024, the company entered a definitive agreement to sell 20 of its active aggregates operations across Alabama, South Carolina, South Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia to Martin Marietta Materials for $2.05 billion in cash, materially reshaping its footprint and concentrating retained operations in northern Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina.
