Heidelberg Materials North America announced today that it has completed the acquisition of Giant Cement Holding, Inc (GCHI) and its subsidiaries, Giant Cement Co, Dragon Products Co and Giant Resource Recovery, from the Fortaleza, Uniland and Trituradora groups.
The acquired operations include a cement plant in Harleyville, South Carolina, and four associated distribution terminals – a joint-venture deep-water import terminal in Savannah, Georgia, cement and slag distribution terminals in Newington, New Hampshire, and Thomaston, Maine as well as a deep-water import terminal in Boston, Massachusetts. The purchase also includes Giant Resource Recovery (GRR), an alternative fuel recycling business in the eastern US.
“We are pleased to complete the acquisition of the GCHI assets and further strengthen our presence in the important Southeastern U.S. and New England markets,” said Chris Ward, President and CEO of Heidelberg Materials North America. “We welcome the approximately 400 employees and the GCHI customers to Heidelberg Materials and look forward to the opportunities ahead.”
Elementia USA is proud to share that its sister company, Keystone Cement Co has officially transitioned to independent operations from Giant Cement Holding, Inc (GCHI).
Following the sale of GCHI to Heidelberg Materials, of which Keystone was not a part, Elementia will continue operating with its full team, strong support from its corporate group, Fortaleza Materiales.
