On Monday, July 1, Irving, Texas-based Heidelberg Materials North America announced that it acquired all assets of Aaron Materials, a concrete recycler and materials producer in Aransas Pass, Texas, previously operated by Aaron Concrete Contractors LP of Austin, Texas. 

The operations in Aransas Pass include concrete crushing, stabilized materials, and a volumetric concrete business. 

As part of Germany-based Heidelberg Materials, Heidelberg Materials North America produces cement, ready-mix concrete, and aggregates, including recycled aggregates. 

“The acquisition of Aaron Materials further strengthens our existing materials footprint in Texas and accelerates our focus on recycled concrete and circular solutions,” said Chris Hobby, president of the Southwest Region for Heidelberg Materials North America.  

According to the company’s press release, this acquisition aligns with Heidelberg Materials’ 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. 

“We are excited about growing our recycled concrete offerings and better meeting the increasing demand for circular solutions in this attractive market,” Hobby said.
