It was recently announced that Summit Materials had acquired six companies:
- Elam Construction
- Grand Junction Concrete Pipe
- Fischer Quarries
- B&B Resources
- Triple C Concrete
- Wind River Materials
It always peaks my curiosity when I see a company announce this many acquisitions. So I did a little digging. Turns out that Summit Materials is a “platform company” and was formed by a group of investors, including The Blackstone Group and Silverhawk Capital Partners, in 2009. The goal of the platform company is to acquire companies in the “aggregates and heavy-side building materials sector,” according to Summit’s release.
