- CRH plc (NYSE: CRH) is a leading global provider of building materials solutions that build, connect, and improve communities worldwide. Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, and founded in 1970 through the merger of Cement Limited and Roadstone Limited, the company operates approximately 3,800 locations across 28 countries, employing around 80,000 people with a primary focus on North America and Europe. CRH generates the majority of its revenue and profits from its Americas division, which encompasses Americas Materials Solutions and Americas Building Solutions segments; the former supplies essential materials including aggregates, cement, asphalt, ready-mixed concrete, paving services, and construction services for infrastructure projects, while the latter delivers building products such as precast concrete, construction accessories, architectural products, and solutions for roads, critical utilities, commercial buildings, and outdoor living. Its International Solutions segment provides similar materials and products, including cementitious materials, across Europe and other regions.
CRH serves public infrastructure authorities, commercial and residential builders, and transportation entities, with notable contributions to projects such as the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, NASA's Kennedy Space Center, and runway rehabilitations worldwide. The company maintains market leadership in key categories like concrete pipe manufacturing, asphalt, ready-mixed concrete, and aggregates in the United States.
In recent developments, CRH completed the $2.1 billion acquisition of Eco Material Technologies, North America's leading supplier of supplementary cementitious materials, in September 2025, enhancing its position in low-carbon cement alternatives and infrastructure modernization. Year-to-date through Q3 2025, CRH invested $3.5 billion in 27 acquisitions and $1.2 billion in growth capital expenditures to expand its connected portfolio in aggregates, cementitious products, roads, and water infrastructure. Earlier moves included the 2024 acquisition of Hunter cement and ready-mixed concrete assets in Texas for $2.11 billion, bolstering its Americas Materials Solutions segment, alongside strategic partnerships like the Memorandum of Understanding with Volvo Group for net-zero construction equipment.
