Heidelberg Materials announced that it has acquired assets of Concrete Crushers Inc. (CCI), the largest concrete recycling company in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The transaction includes a recycled aggregates yard in Southeast Calgary and a contract crushing business with four mobile plants.

“This bolt-on acquisition is another great example of how we combine growth and sustainability at Heidelberg Materials,” said Chris Ward, member of the Managing Board of Heidelberg Materials and CEO of Heidelberg Materials North America. “Besides expanding our existing footprint in an attractive market as part of our ongoing portfolio optimisation, we are further advancing our focus on sustainable and circular products”.

The company is driving differentiating success across geographies and businesses through its global advantage along three distinct value drivers: sustainability, digitalisation, and technical excellence.

Heidelberg Materials is strongly committed to advancing sustainable products and increasing the circular economy in North America. Just recently, the company announced that it has completed its acquisition of Giant Cement Holding Inc., an established cement producer on the US East Coast with a strong focus on using waste-derived fuels.
