CRH closes $8.5 billion Arcosa acquisition

CRH has completed its roughly $8.5 billion purchase of Arcosa, adding a large U.S. aggregates and infrastructure products business, according to an 8-K filing on Friday.

The building materials company first announced the deal on June 22, 2026, valuing Arcosa at a total enterprise value of approximately $8.5 billion.

Why it matters

CRH said the deal advances its aggregates-led strategy and strengthens its position as the largest aggregates producer in the U.S. and worldwide. It also raises CRH's exposure to demand from road, water, energy and data center projects, the release said.

"Arcosa is an excellent strategic fit for CRH and fully aligns with our growth ambitions," CEO Jim Mintern said in the release, pointing to Arcosa's aggregates assets and its positions in the U.S. energy transmission market.

What comes next

CRH said it will provide updated full-year 2026 guidance that includes Arcosa when it reports third-quarter results on Oct. 29.
