CRH plc

Dublin, Irelandwww.crh.com1expert edge

CRH plc is the world's largest building materials group, producing aggregates, cement, ready-mixed concrete, asphalt and water infrastructure products across roughly 3,900 locations in 28 countries. It is NYSE-listed (CRH), an S&P 500 constituent, and generates the majority of its earnings in North America.

Why interesting to a deal team

CRH is the most active strategic consolidator in North American aggregates; its $8.5B Arcosa acquisition sets valuation benchmarks and typically forces regulatory divestitures a PE buyer could take down. Hayward's capital markets role on the deal gives direct access to CRH's financing and M&A decision-makers.
