US: Global Cement understands from material published publicly on Breedon Group’s website that the UK-based company acquired ready-mix concrete, aggregates and building products company BMC Enterprises for US$300m on 6 March 2023. This marks the group’s first entry into the US building materials sector. Breedon Group described the acquisition as a ‘compelling opportunity’ in the ‘fragmented and growing’ market. It described BMC Enterprises as a highly attractive, established business upon which to grow a new group platform in the US, in addition to its existing platforms in the UK and Ireland.

Breedon Group CEO Rob Wood said “The acquisition of BMC represents a compelling opportunity for Breedon to launch our third platform. BMC has an excellent performance track record over a sustained period and is positioned in an attractive market for future growth. As a high-quality aggregates and concrete business that has grown at pace, organically and through acquisitions, with a strong management team and deep local knowledge, BMC’s culture and values are fully aligned with the Breedon business model.” Wood added "The acquisition is expected to be earnings-enhancing for shareholders, while allowing Breedon to maintain a conservative and flexible balance sheet to pay dividends and make further bolt-on acquisitions across each of our platforms as opportunities arise.”
