Aggregate Industries is an international aggregates, construction and building materials group, based in the UK. We have leading regional market positions in the UK and across the US, as well as operations in the Channel Islands, Norway and northern Europe.
In 2007 the Aggregate Industries operating businesses produced:
85.2m tonnes of aggregate;
13.9m tonnes of asphalt;
7.9m cubic metres of ready-mixed concrete
3.8m tonnes of pre-cast concrete products
Our aim is to supply quality products and to provide first class service so that we continue to be a supplier of choice in our sector.
Mineral reserves are the life blood of any aggregates based company. We distinguish between mineral reserves, which are those which we control and have permission or consent to quarry, from mineral resources which are under our control but are not yet fully permitted.
During 2006 Aggregate Industries increased its resources to 2.07 billion tonnes and increased reserves to 4.02 billion tonnes. We have ten aggregate operations with more than 100 million tonnes of reserves, four of which are in Europe and six in the USA.
In 2006 Aggregate Industries added substantially to its reserves and resources with the acquisition of Foster Yeoman in the UK and Meyer Materials in the USA. These acquisitions added reserves and resources totalling in excess of 1 billion tonnes.
Aggregate Industries has 150 active sites in Europe and the USA which produced a total of nearly 76 million tonnes of crushed rock and sand & gravel in 2006.
