CalPortland to buy Redding cement plant from Martin Marietta

01 March 2022

US: The former Lehigh Hanson Redding cement plant is the subject of a new acquisition deal. Martin Marietta has now agreed to sell the plant, which is in California, and related cement terminals to CalPortland for US$250m. The deal also covers 14 ready-mix concrete locations. The parties have also established arrangements for any future agreement for the sale of Martin Marietta’s Tehachapi cement facility and its related cement distribution terminals. Martin Marietta acquired both plants from Lehigh Hanson in October 2021.

CalPortland’s parent company Taiheiyo Cement said that the acquisition will enable it to build a supply system to meet the growing demand for cement in northern California, Oregon and Nevada. It added that the Redding Plant is an important plant in northern California, which its expects can improve customer satisfaction through an investment to develop more efficient systems. The company concluded “As a result, we expect steady growth in revenue and profits for Taiheiyo Cement’s US cement and ready mixed concrete businesses, which in turn will contribute to the achievement of the medium-term management plan from fiscal years 2022 to 2024.”
