Holcim expands in Colorado via M&A

Holcim US acquired an aggregate operation from J-2 Contracting Co., gaining reserves in Colorado and strengthening its position in the market.

The deal includes an operational sand and gravel site near Greeley, Colorado, which Holcim will name the Scout Island Facility. A range of construction aggregates are currently mined and sold at the site.

“The addition of this operation ensures we will continue to provide remarkable products, spanning dozens of applications, ranging from ready-mixed and precast concrete, asphalt and base material for street and road construction for years to come across the region,” says Chance Allen, head of the Mountain Region at Holcim. “We welcome several full-time employees into Holcim with this transaction who will help us continue to build our footprint in the rapidly growing Colorado construction market.”

Holcim says Nicholas Lott, general manager of its West Central Region, will manage the acquired operations.

Holcim operates nearly 350 sites in 43 states, employing about 7,000 people.
