Quarrying specialist Singleton Birch has been bought by one of the oldest independent suppliers of lime products in the USA.
Mississippi Lime Company has made the transatlantic acquisition of the 212-year-old North Lincolnshire business, in an undisclosed deal. The Melton Ross operation employs more than 150 people, and it is a move described as “powering the next phase of Singleton Birch’s growth” - with net zero lime extraction being piloted - while forming a key part of the purchaser’s strategy.
Part of HBM Holdings, Mississippi Lime Company is family-owned and headquartered in St Louis, Missouri, and is a leading global supplier of high-calcium lime products and technical solutions. It operates the largest lime facility in the Americas and mines some of the purest limestone reserves in the world. It has set its stall out to drive growth, innovation and sustainability through geographic expansion, new products and technologies.
