Growing our business since 1970.
A long history supporting critical infrastructure that stands the test of time.
CRH was formed through a merger in 1970 of two leading Irish public companies, Cement Limited (established 1936) and Roadstone Limited (established 1949).
See how our story has unfolded over the decades and how our business strategy has enabled our growth, from a national Irish company in 1970 to a global leader today.
