Rogers Group expands in Arkansas with acquisitions

Rogers Group (RGI) acquired sister companies Bradley Contracting and Diamond B. Transport in moves that expand its footprint in Arkansas.

According to Rogers Group, Bradley Contracting has a limestone quarry near Cord, Arkansas, while Diamond B. Transport is a trucking company near the same location.

“Our Western Division continues to be a major focus for growth opportunities in all RGI business lines,” says Jimmy Patton, interim president and CEO of Rogers Group. “The addition of this quarry and its trucking assets nicely complement RGI’s existing investments in Arkansas.”

Rogers Group entered the Arkansas market more than 30 years ago, and it now has 13 locations in the state.

Bradley Contracting and Diamond B Transport collectively have about 35 employees – the majority of whom transitioned to Rogers Group.

“We are thrilled to expand our operations into northeast Arkansas, increasing our overall capacity to do business in Arkansas,” says Tim Wilson, Western Division vice president at Rogers Group. “The state of Arkansas has continued to invest heavily in improving infrastructure for its residents. This acquisition will help us capture some of that growth.”

Founded in 1908, Rogers Group is the largest privately owned aggregate producer in the U.S. The company offers graded stone, sand and gravel, hot-mix asphalt and heavy construction services in 11 states.
