CRH Americas

What CRH Americas does

CRH Americas is a manufacturer and supplier of essential building materials serving large-scale transportation, water, commercial construction, and reindustrialization projects across the Americas. The company's portfolio spans four core product categories: aggregates (crushed stone, sand, gravel); cementitious materials (including next-generation, lower-carbon products developed with partners such as Eco Material Technologies); road construction materials and asphalt; and water infrastructure solutions such as stormwater management and smart water systems. It commercializes products through multiple regional brands, including Oldcastle, Oldcastle Infrastructure, Ash Grove, Texas Materials, Tarmac, Preferred Materials, Staker Parson Materials, and Tilcon New York. Notable technology platforms include CivilSense, an AI-enabled leak detection system from Oldcastle Infrastructure, and Super Sand Mix, a performance-engineered road material that uses recycled content to reduce raw material inputs.

The company operates an enterprise field sales go-to-market, selling directly to government agencies, municipalities, and major construction and infrastructure developers on a project-based, quote-driven basis; pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated through one-time sale of materials and infrastructure products, supplemented by long-cycle infrastructure contracts. CRH Americas is the Americas-focused arm of CRH plc, a publicly listed (NYSE: CRH) Irish public limited company with global operations spanning North America, the United Kingdom, France, Ireland, Romania, Denmark, and Australia. Leadership comprises CEO Jim Mintern and Jason Jackson as President of CRH Americas Materials, with a broader executive team disclosed through the corporate site. The firm is pursuing aggressive inorganic and organic expansion, most notably a pending $8.5 billion all-cash acquisition of Arcosa, Inc. announced June 22, 2026, alongside strategic positioning around data center, water, and reindustrialization demand drivers.
