Aggregates
The power of our connected portfolio begins with our leadership position in aggregates – a valuable, finite resource and the backbone of modern infrastructure.
Our aggregates business is fundamental to everything we do – supporting our cementitious, roads and water businesses – keeping our communities connected and growing.
Aggregates such as granite, limestone and sandstone are more than natural mineral deposits. They are the raw materials behind modern infrastructure.
CRH transforms these aggregates into the crushed stone, sand and gravel used in ready mixed concrete and the asphalt found in roads, railways and building foundations.

Beyond crushing rocks
We take pride not only in the quality of our building materials, but in the way we serve our customers.
No project is too big or too small. Every order is tailored to meet the exact needs of the job.
In addition to our vast scale, our commitment to safety, reliability, exceptional service and our communities is what truly sets us apart.
Our connected portfolio
The connectivity between our platforms enables us to capture more value at every step of the supply chain. For example, we supply our paving operations with high-quality aggregates and asphalt sourced internally from CRH companies.
In fact, more than 80% of the products we produce use our own aggregates and cementitious materials.
