Insights

CRH's $2.1B acquisition of Eco Material strengthens its sustainable construction materials portfolio and North American market position.

CRH's $2.1 billion acquisition of Eco Material Technologies represents a significant strategic move to bolster its position in the sustainable construction materials market. This acquisition gives CRH immediate access to Eco Material's extensive network of over 125 utility source locations, production facilities, and terminals across North America, which process approximately 7 million tons of fly ash and 3 million tons of synthetic gypsum annually.

The transaction aligns perfectly with the industry's shift toward greener building solutions, as Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) are crucial for reducing the carbon footprint of concrete production. Fly ash and other SCMs partially replace traditional Portland cement, which is responsible for 5-8% of global carbon emissions. By expanding its SCM capabilities, CRH positions itself advantageously in the growing market for low-carbon construction materials.

This deal also demonstrates vertical integration value, as CRH can now incorporate Eco Material's products into its existing concrete operations, potentially reducing costs and creating supply chain efficiencies. The $2.1 billion price tag suggests CRH sees substantial growth potential in Eco Material's operations, particularly with the company mentioning "significant additional capacity currently under construction." For CRH shareholders, this represents a meaningful expansion of the company's environmental solutions portfolio and strengthens its competitive position in sustainable construction materials across North America.

Launched by One Equity Partners, Warburg Pincus and Green Cement Investments in 2022, Eco Material Technologies is well-positioned under CRH's stewardship to maintain its growth trajectory

NEW YORK, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- One Equity Partners ("OEP"), a leading middle market private equity firm, Warburg Pincus, the pioneer of global growth investing, and Green Cement Investments today announced an agreement to sell Eco Material Technologies ("Eco Material") to CRH (NYSE: CRH) for a total consideration of $2.1 billion. Eco Material Technologies is a leading independent supplier of Supplementary Cementitious Materials ("SCMs") in North America.

Eco Material was formed in 2022 from the merger of Boral Limited's North American fly ash business and Green Cement Inc, a manufacturer of near-zero-carbon cement alternatives. Eco Material is headquartered in Utah and operates a national network of fresh and harvested fly ash, pozzolans, synthetic gypsum and green cement operations distributed across a network of over 125 utility source locations, production facilities and terminals. The company partners with leading electric utilities to process and recycle approximately seven million tons of fly ash and three million tons of synthetic gypsum and other materials annually, with significant additional capacity currently under construction.

"During our partnership, Eco Material has achieved significant growth by scaling industry-leading technological solutions and continuing to expand its network of cement alternatives across North America," said Matt Hughes, Partner at OEP. "We are proud of the progress our partnership has generated, and we are confident that CRH will shepherd in a new chapter of growth by leveraging its national distribution network and innovation capabilities to better serve the combined companies' customers," said Roy Ben-Dor, Managing Director and Head of Energy Transition and Sustainability at Warburg Pincus.

"We thank One Equity Partners and Warburg Pincus for their investment and partnership, which were instrumental in building the strong foundation from which we now embark on this next chapter," said Grant Quasha, CEO of Eco Material. "We're incredibly proud of the growth we have achieved together since 2022, and we are excited for our future with CRH and the opportunities ahead of our combined organizations."

The proposed transaction is subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions and is expected to close in 2025.
