Holcim finds alignment and opportunity for continued growth with aggregates deal in Mountain Region

DENVER, Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Holcim US announced today it has acquired a new aggregate operation from J-2 Contracting Co., one of Colorado's premier general contractors. With this strategic transaction, Holcim gains a large volume of high-quality aggregate reserves and strengthens its place as a long-term, reliable aggregate supplier in Colorado, one of its fastest-growing markets in the US.
