CRH targets green growth with €2.1bn US cement alternatives deal

CRH has agreed to acquire Utah-based Eco Material Technologies for $2.1bn (€1.73bn) in a major step toward low-carbon construction in the US. The all-cash deal strengthens CRH’s position in the fast-growing supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) market, complementing its existing Ash Grove operations and supporting its green building strategy.

Eco Material converts industrial waste into high-performance, low-carbon cement alternatives — a move that aligns with CRH’s sustainability ambitions and expansion roadmap in North America. The acquisition also highlights the strategic value of CRH’s 2023 decision to shift its primary listing to the US.
