U S Aggregates

What U S Aggregates does

U.S. Aggregates is a privately held producer of construction aggregates headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, and operating as a subsidiary of The Heritage Group, a fourth-generation, family-owned industrial conglomerate. The company operates more than 20 stone quarries and sand-and-gravel plants across Indiana, producing crushed stone, sand, gravel, specialty mineral products, and industrial calcium carbonates under the Utilimin sub-brand. Its product portfolio exceeds 100 SKUs spanning INDOT- and ODOT-specification aggregates, commercial-grade stone, erosion-control rip rap, agricultural lime, golf and sports sands, and specialty items such as scrubber stone and iron-ore flux stone.

The company sells primarily through a direct, field-based sales motion, with sales managers assigned to specific locations and customers that include state departments of transportation (INDOT and ODOT), contractors, ready-mix and asphalt producers, agricultural operations, and industrial manufacturers such as Duke Energy, General Shale Brick, and Honda Manufacturing. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; qualified buyers can apply for credit accounts and pay bills online through the Pay ExPress system. Quality control is supported by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) testing for CAPP certification, drone-based mine and topographic surveys, and machine-control files for precision excavation.

U.S. Aggregates' operating model emphasizes Indiana-local service, regulatory compliance with IDEM, EPA, DNR, and USACE, and an active presence in industry associations including IMAA and NSSGA. The company's largest capital project to date, the Deer Creek greenfield plant, opened in June 2024, and a sand-and-gravel acquisition in Terre Haute (Vigo County) was completed in April 2026. At the 2026 IMAA Winter Workshops the company received 16 Gold Excellence in Mining Awards and 13 Safety Achievement Awards, reflecting strong safety and community standing within the regional industry.

Broad incumbents

• Carmeuse: Global leader in lime and limestone-based products with significant U.S. operations serving industrial markets. Related to US Aggregates' industrial minerals and limestone products (including Utilimin calcium carbonate), though Carmeuse is materially larger and focused on lime-based chemistry rather than construction aggregates.
• Martin Marietta Materials: Publicly traded, top-tier U.S. aggregates producer with operations across 28 states. Direct product overlap (crushed stone, sand and gravel, industrial minerals) and serves the same end markets (DOT, commercial construction, infrastructure), but at materially greater scale and geographic reach than US Aggregates.
• Heidelberg Materials: Global building materials company (formerly Lehigh Hanson) with significant U.S. aggregates operations. Comparable on aggregates product line and end-market exposure, but as a multinational incumbent serving broader geographies and product categories than US Aggregates' Indiana-focused platform.
• Holcim US: U.S. subsidiary of Holcim Ltd., one of the world's largest building materials companies, with extensive aggregates operations across multiple U.S. regions. Overlaps with US Aggregates on construction aggregate products and DOT customers, but operates at vastly greater scale and as part of a global integrated materials platform.
• Cemex USA: U.S. operations of Cemex SAB de CV, a global building materials company with aggregates, ready-mix, and cement production across the U.S. Comparable in aggregates production and customer mix (DOTs and commercial contractors), but with national geographic reach and integrated cement-aggregates-concrete operations.
• Vulcan Materials Company: Largest producer of construction aggregates in the United States, with operations nationwide including Indiana-adjacent geographies. Highly comparable on product (crushed stone, sand, gravel) and customer base (state DOTs, ready-mix, asphalt), though Vulcan operates at many multiples of US Aggregates' scale.
• Rogers Group: One of the largest privately held aggregates and asphalt producers in the U.S., now part of CRH plc, with significant operations in Indiana and the Midwest. Comparable on aggregates production and Indiana presence, but operates at significantly larger scale and as part of a global building-materials platform.

Direct peers

• Mulzer Crushed Stone: Family-owned aggregates producer headquartered in Tell City, Indiana, operating multiple quarries and sand & gravel plants across southern Indiana and into Kentucky. Highly comparable to US Aggregates as an Indiana-focused, privately held aggregate miner of similar scale with adjacent geography and overlapping customer base (INDOT and commercial construction).
• Irving Materials (IMI): Indiana-based producer of aggregates, ready-mix concrete, and concrete products with operations throughout Indiana and surrounding states. Direct comparable on geography (Indiana-centric), product mix (aggregates + ready-mix), and customer segments (state DOT and commercial contractors).

Regional players

• Elliott Stone Company: Indiana-based aggregates producer serving south-central Indiana markets. Comparable in geography (Indiana) and product mix (crushed stone and limestone), though smaller in scale and footprint than US Aggregates' 20+ location platform.
