On October 6, 2025, Construction Partners, Inc. announced the acquisition of eight hot-mix asphalt plants and associated crews and equipment in the Houston, Texas metro area from affiliates of Vulcan Materials Company. This transaction represents a divestiture of certain downstream assets by Vulcan Materials.
The divested operations will be integrated into Construction Partners' Durwood Greene Construction Co., strengthening their presence in the Houston asphalt market. For Vulcan Materials, this move indicates a strategic adjustment to its portfolio, potentially allowing for a greater focus on its core aggregates business or other growth initiatives.
While the specific financial terms of the divestiture were not disclosed by Vulcan Materials, the sale of these asphalt plants in a significant market like Houston is a notable operational change. Divestitures can be part of a broader strategy to optimize asset allocation and enhance overall financial returns.
