Heidelberg acquires Canadian concrete recycling firm

Heidelberg Materials North America has acquired certain assets of Concrete Crushers Inc. (CCI), a concrete recycling firm based in Calgary, Alberta.

The transaction includes a recycled aggregates yard in the city of Calgary and a contract crushing business with four mobile plants, according to Irving, Texas-based Heidelberg.

“The acquisition of the CCI assets further strengthens our existing footprint in the Calgary market and accelerates our focus on recycled concrete aggregates and circular solutions,” says Oliver Patsch, president of the Northwest Region for Heidelberg Materials North America.

The Texas-based business unit of Germany-based Heidelberg Materials, says the recent acquisition is aligned with its strategic focus on optimizing its portfolio in core markets and strengthening its existing businesses through bolt-on acquisitions while advancing its focus on sustainable and circular products.

Last year, Heidelberg acquired Flourtown, Pennsylvania-based Highway Materials Inc., which included a concrete recycling plant among its assets, and Victory Rock, a Gordon, Texas-based producer of aggregates that offered concrete recycling services.

“We are excited about increasing our recycled concrete offerings in this growing market and pleased to welcome the CCI employees to our team,” Patsch says.

Heidelberg Materials North America describes itself as a “front runner on the path to decarbonizing the built environment and growing the circular economy in the construction materials industry.”
