“The acquisition of the Meriwether Ready Mix assets will enhance our ready mixed concrete footprint in the rapidly growing Metro Atlanta Area,” said Chris Ward, President and CEO of Lehigh Hanson, Inc. “These operations are a great addition to our existing integrated network of businesses in this important market, and we welcome the Meriwether employees into the Lehigh Hanson organization.”
The Metro Atlanta Area is a growing market with significant infrastructure projects planned in the coming years. The addition of the Meriwether business better positions Lehigh Hanson to capture this growth potential and serve a broader customer base with a wide range of more sustainable, lower carbon concrete products and digital solutions.
Based in Irving, Texas, Lehigh Hanson, Inc. and its affiliated companies are part of HeidelbergCement, an integrated manufacturer of building materials and solutions, with market positions in aggregates, cement, and ready mixed concrete.
