Transaction advances CRH’s strategy to build aggregates-led, connected portfolio aligned with growing infrastructure megatrends
NEW YORK – October 7, 2026 – CRH (NYSE: CRH), the leading provider of building materials, today announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire NCC Industry’s operations in Denmark and Finland from NCC AB. NCC Industry develops, produces and sells stone materials and asphalt products for construction and infrastructure projects.
In Denmark NCC Industry’s national network of asphalt plants, land and marine based aggregates sites, together with its substantial high-quality reserves, will significantly expand CRH’s presence in the market and its exposure to demand from major road, infrastructure and industrial projects. While in Finland NCC Industry’s attractive network of reserve backed hard-rock quarries, backfilling and recycling operations will complement CRH’s existing operations and connected portfolio of businesses in the Finnish market.
Peter Buckley, President, CRH International, said: “This acquisition is strongly aligned with CRH’s strategy to build an aggregates-led, connected portfolio aligned with growing infrastructure megatrends. NCC Industry’s extensive operating footprint and strong customer relationships in Denmark and Finland will strengthen our business in the Nordics, enhancing our ability to support customers across key high-growth urban markets and infrastructure end-segments.”
“We look forward to welcoming the NCC Industry teams in Denmark and Finland to CRH once the deal concludes and to working together to create additional opportunities and further value through CRH’s operating expertise,” he added.
The transaction remains subject to applicable approvals and customary closing conditions. Completion is expected during 2027. Until completion, the businesses will continue to operate independently.
