Entrepreneurial Spirit
Our roots are seeded in the rich history of two entrepreneurial brothers who went into business in 1930s Ireland with nothing more than a sand and gravel pit and a single truck.
Optimism
Our growth has been fueled by the pioneering spirit of our first employees, who forty years later crossed the Atlantic Ocean full of optimism and a commitment to building relationships. They sealed the first deal, acquiring Amcor in 1978, and planted CRH’s first footprint in North America.
A Family of Families
From humble beginnings in the 1970s to the business we are today, over the years we've grown through strategic acquisitions while always staying true to our core values.
