Construction-materials giant Vulcan Materials Co. has completed the $900-million acquisition of Aggregates USA, after reaching an asset-sale agreement with the Dept. of Justice to federal antitrust objections.
Birmingham, Ala.-based Vulcan, which says it is the largest U.S. aggregates producer, said on Jan. 2 that it had closed the Aggregates USA purchase on Dec. 29, adding three granite quarries in Georgia and 16 rail yards in Georgia, South Carolina and Florida.
