Heidelberg Materials North America has completed the acquisition of Giant Cement Holding Inc. (GCHI) and its subsidiaries, Giant Cement Company, Dragon Products Company and Giant Resource Recovery, from the Fortaleza, Uniland and Trituradora groups.
The acquired operations include a cement plant in Harleyville, South Carolina, and four associated distribution terminals; a joint-venture deep-water import terminal in Savannah, Georgia; cement and slag distribution terminals in Newington, New Hampshire, and Thomaston, Maine; and a deep-water import terminal in Boston, Massachusetts. The purchase also includes Giant Resource Recovery (GRR!), an alternative fuel recycling business in the Eastern US.
