US: Summit Materials says that it has obtained the stockholder approval required for its proposed acquisition by Quikrete. The transaction is expected to close within the first quarter of 2025, subject to any remaining customary conditions. Once complete, Summit Materials will become a privately-held subsidiary of Quikrete.
Quikrete entered into a definitive agreement to buy Summit Materials for a total enterprise value of US$11.5bn in November 2024. The deal will add Summit Materials’ aggregates, cement and ready-mixed concrete business to Quikrete’s concrete and cement-based products business to create a vertically integrated business in North America.
