Breedon, one of UK’s largest construction materials groups, has bought County Antrim quarrying and concrete block business Robinson Quarry Masters.
The deal is part of a trio of acquisitions worth up to £19 million and sees the family owned business come under the parent company’s name.
Robinson’s Quarry Masters have been in business for more than 45 years and has around 35 staff operating from its 150 acre site near Ballymena. It manufactures quarry and concrete block productions for a wide range of construction and other uses and Breedon said the purchase will build its aggregate reserves on the island of Ireland.
