Breedon Group has announced its acquisition of Booth Precast Products, a quarrying and concrete business in Co. Laois, following approval by the Competition Authority.
Booth has supplied the construction market in Ireland for over 25 years from its headquarters in County Laois.
The acquisition supports Breedon’s growth strategy in Ireland, securing mineral reserves to supply the growing market in Dublin and increasing vertical integration through the addition of Booth’s concrete operations.
Following completion of the acquisition, Breedon welcomes 32 staff members from Booth to the Group.
Declan Carr, CEO Breedon Ireland, said: “We are delighted to welcome Booth and our new colleagues to Breedon. Booth is a well-established and highly regarded business and a strong track record of excellence supplying Irish construction companies. The team’s expertise and extensive customer relationships will further strengthen our operations in the country.
“This acquisition delivers on our strategy in Ireland, providing Breedon with valuable source of aggregates to supply the growing Dublin market and expanding our concrete business, as well as our ability to serve customers with a broad, vertically-integrated platform.”
