Couch Aggregates

What Couch Aggregates does

Couch Aggregates, LLC is a privately held producer of construction aggregates headquartered in Dothan, Alabama, founded in 1908. The company mines, grades, and distributes sand, gravel, limestone, and crushed concrete through seven production plants and four terminals spanning central and south Alabama and the Florida panhandle (including river and coastal terminals at Orange Beach, Theodore, West Bay, and Port St. Joe that provide barge access to the Tombigbee/Alabama River system, Mobile Bay, and the Intercoastal Waterway). Its portfolio of more than thirty graded products — covering limestone (#4, #57, #67, #89, #8910, Class I and II Rip Rap), river gravel, DOT-spec sands (concrete, mason, asphalt, golf, beach), road base materials (#825A, #825B, commercial and recycled concrete base), and ancillary fill/topsoil/clay — is tested to meet Alabama DOT and Florida DOT specifications, supplying contractors in ready-mix concrete, road construction, site work, masonry, landscaping, and sports/recreation applications.

The business model is a quote-based, unit-priced (per ton or cubic yard) commodity sale with 30-day net payment terms and credit-application onboarding. Distribution runs on a sales-led, territory-based direct model: nine named regional sales representatives and a VP of Sales & Logistics cover Central Alabama, Southeast Alabama / Northwest Florida, and Southwest Alabama / West Florida, supported by a website-based quote request system and a product calculator. Selling is completed by direct delivery from owned plants and terminals via truck or barge, with the inland-waterway logistics footprint allowing cost-effective reach into Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky.

Ownership shifted in 2026 when Cemex — a global building materials major — acquired a majority equity stake as part of its U.S. aggregates expansion strategy. Couch Aggregates continues to operate under its existing brand with its established management team (President & CEO Steve Shaw, CFO Tim Carrigan, VP of Sales & Logistics Grant Davis, VP of Operations Don Harrell), a 101-250 employee workforce, and an LLC corporate structure governed under Alabama law.
