The acquisition has been bolted on to CRH’s Northstone business, to give cost synergies and add 24 million tonnes of reserves.
CRH has also spread its reach across mainland Britain by acquiring the cement import facilities of the Dudman group, providing new outlets for its Irish and Spanish cement products.
Both deals were part of a £400m acquisitions spree by CRH in the first half of the year across North America and Europe.
