About CRH Public Ltd Co

CRH Public Ltd Co (NYSE: CRH) is a global leader in building materials and a US-listed company that files with the SEC. The group was formed in 1970 through the merger of Cement Limited, founded in 1936, and Roadstone Limited, founded in 1949. While its historical roots are Irish, CRH today operates as a highly international industrial group with a major presence across North America, Europe, and Australia. The company’s operational headquarters are in New York, United States, and its scale is substantial: around 83,000 employees across roughly 4,000 operating locations. ([crh.com](https://www.crh.com/who-we-are/our-history/?utm_source=openai)) CRH’s business model is centered on supplying critical materials, products, and solutions for modern infrastructure and construction. Its portfolio spans aggregates, cement, ready-mix concrete, asphalt, building products, road solutions, and related services. The company describes its offering as a “connected portfolio” that supports customers across the construction value chain and makes construction simpler, safer, and more sustainable. In 2025, CRH reported that 40% of total revenues came from infrastructure, 32% from residential construction, and 28% from non-residential construction; 60% of revenues were linked to new-build activity and 40% to repair and remodel demand. This mix gives the company a diversified end-market exposure and reduces reliance on any single construction segment.

These characteristics are especially important in building materials, where transport costs, permitting, quarry reserves, and logistics networks create significant barriers to entry. CRH has also shown a consistent ability to expand through acquisitions, strengthening its market leadership in North America while maintaining meaningful positions in Europe and other selected markets.

In February 2026, CRH reported strong full-year 2025 results, including higher revenues, net income, and adjusted EBITDA, and highlighted continued margin expansion. The company also announced inclusion in the S&P 500, a notable milestone for a non-US-origin industrial group listed in the United States. In addition, CRH announced a $2.1 billion acquisition of Eco Material Technologies in July 2025, a move that increases its exposure to supplementary cementitious materials in North America and supports its long-term strategy around infrastructure, capacity optimization, and more sustainable building solutions.
