CRH is the leading global provider of building materials and solutions for infrastructure, residential, and non-residential construction, operating through two divisions: Americas (Materials Solutions and Building Solutions) and International (Solutions). The company manufactures and supplies essential materials including aggregates, cementitious materials, concrete, and asphalt, along with value-added building products such as precast concrete, masonry, hardscapes, and outdoor living solutions. CRH's business model combines a highly fragmented, acquisition-driven strategy—having completed over 1,250 deals since formation in 1970—with deep local market knowledge and operational synergies to serve customers ranging from national and regional governments to contractors and construction product providers. The company operates 3,961 locations with 83,032 employees across North America, Europe, and Australia, generating $37.4 billion in revenues in 2025 with 40% from infrastructure, 32% from residential construction, and 28% from non-residential construction. CRH's competitive moat derives from its unmatched scale, extensive network of long-term quarry reserves adjacent to high-demand urban areas, connected portfolio that enables cross-selling and customer wallet expansion, and ability to execute disciplined commercial management and continuous performance improvement. The company's unit economics are characterized by capital intensity in materials production, with significant fixed assets in quarries and manufacturing facilities, offset by the asset-light nature of its services and solutions businesses; approximately 60% of revenues come from new-build construction and 40% from repair and remodel activity, providing revenue stability across market cycles.
【Infrastructure-led growth momentum】 Management expects 2026 to be a record year for transportation infrastructure investment, supported by continued rollout of federal IIJA funding with approximately 50% of highway funds yet to be deployed, alongside robust demand for water infrastructure and large-scale reindustrialization projects in manufacturing and data centers. The company anticipates resilient repair and remodel demand in residential markets while new-build residential activity remains subdued due to affordability challenges, with international markets benefiting from strong government and EU funding programs and recovery in Western Europe. Management is targeting another year of margin expansion driven by disciplined pricing momentum, operational efficiencies, and the benefits of recent acquisitions, particularly the Hunter Cement Plant acquisition which has delivered synergies ahead of original expectations. The company expects to deploy approximately $40 billion of financial capacity over the next five years for growth investments, including production capacity expansion in high-growth markets, automation and advanced technologies, and sustainability initiatives, while maintaining strong cash generation and shareholder returns.
