CRH completes $8.5 billion acquisition of Arcosa

CRH (NYSE: CRH) has completed its acquisition of Arcosa, Inc., finalizing a deal valued at approximately $8.5 billion in total enterprise value. The transaction, which was initially agreed upon on June 22, 2026, marks the full integration of the U.S. aggregates and critical infrastructure products provider into CRH’s operations.

The acquisition is designed to advance CRH’s aggregates-led, connected portfolio strategy. By combining with Arcosa, the company aims to reinforce its position as a leader in U.S. and global aggregates. The deal also increases CRH’s exposure to demand from major road, water, energy, and data projects across the United States.

Jim Mintern, CEO of CRH, stated that Arcosa is an excellent strategic fit that aligns with the company’s growth ambitions. He highlighted the high-quality aggregates assets and attractive positions in the growing U.S. energy transmission market as key strengths of the acquisition. Mintern noted that the deal strengthens CRH’s connected portfolio and reinforces its position as the number one infrastructure player in North America. The company expressed anticipation in welcoming Arcosa colleagues and executing on upcoming growth opportunities.

CRH plans to provide updated full-year 2026 guidance reflecting the completion of the Arcosa acquisition when it reports its third-quarter results on October 29. The company, which employs 83,000 people across 4,000 locations, is a member of the S&P 500 Index. The press release includes forward-looking statements regarding the anticipated benefits of the merger, including expected growth in the U.S. energy transmission market and increased exposure to infrastructure demand. CRH cautioned that actual results may differ due to factors such as integration challenges, financing costs, indebtedness, potential litigation, and broader economic conditions including interest rates and inflation.
