The company provides the basic materials for the infrastructure needed to maintain and expand the U.S. economy. Delivered by trucks, ships, barges, and trains, the company's products are the indispensable materials building homes, offices, places of worship, schools, hospitals, and factories, as well as vital infrastructure, including highways, bridges, roads, ports and harbors, water systems, campuses, dams, airports, and rail networks. As of December 31, 2024, the company had 423 active aggregates facilities.

Additionally, the company further serves its customers through its asphalt facilities and concrete facilities located in Alabama, Arizona, California, Maryland, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Washington D.C.

Business Strategy

The company's strategy and competitive advantage are based on its strength in aggregates, which are used in most types of construction and in the production of asphalt mix and ready-mixed concrete. The company's strategy for long-term value creation is built on: an aggregates-focused business, an emphasis on durable growth, a holistic approach to land management, and its commitment to safety, health, and the environment.

Product Lines

The company's products are used to build the roads, tunnels, bridges, railroads, and airports that connect people, and to build the homes, offices, hospitals, schools, shopping centers, factories, and places of worship that are essential to lives, communities, and the economy.

Segments

Aggregates

The company's construction aggregates are used in a number of ways: as a base material underneath highways, walkways, airport runways, parking lots, and railroads; to aid in water filtration, purification, and erosion control; as a raw material used in combination with other resources to construct many of the items people rely on to sustain their quality of life, including houses and apartments; roads, bridges, and parking lots; schools and hospitals; commercial buildings and retail space; sewer systems; airports and runways; and power plants.

As the U.S. supplier of construction aggregates, the company has mining properties across the U.S. and in the Bahamas, Canada, Honduras, Mexico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It principally serves markets in various states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Washington D.C., and the local markets surrounding its operations in Freeport, Bahamas; British Columbia, Canada; Puerto Cortes, Honduras; and Quintana Roo, Mexico. The company's primary focus is serving states and metropolitan markets in the U.S. that are expected to experience the most significant growth in population, households, and employment.

The company's mining properties are categorized as follows: Production Stage – properties with reported proven or probable reserves where it is actively mining aggregates; Development Stage – properties with reported proven or probable reserves where it is not actively mining aggregates; and Exploration Stage – properties with no reported reserves.

Aggregates Markets

The company focuses on the U.S. markets with above-average long-term expected population growth, and where construction is expected to expand. It produces and sells aggregates (crushed stone, sand and gravel, sand, and other aggregates) and related products and services in various states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Washington D.C., Freeport (Bahamas), British Columbia (Canada), Puerto Cortes (Honduras), and Quintana Roo (Mexico). The company serves both the public and the private sectors.

Asphalt

This segment produces and sells asphalt mix in Alabama, Arizona, California, New Mexico, Tennessee, and Texas, and provides asphalt construction paving services in Alabama, Tennessee, and Texas.

This segment relies on the company's reserves of aggregates, functioning essentially as a customer to its aggregates operations. Aggregates are a major component in asphalt mix, comprising approximately 95% by weight of this product. The company meets the aggregates requirements for its Asphalt segment primarily through its Aggregates segment. It serves its Asphalt segment customers directly from its local production facilities.

Concrete

This segment produces and sells ready-mixed concrete in California, Maryland, Virginia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Washington D.C. It strengthened its concrete positions in California in 2024 and in Virginia and California in 2022 through acquisitions. In 2021, through its acquisition of the U.S. Concrete, the company entered the New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and the U.S. Virgin Islands concrete markets, and expanded its service of the California, Texas, and Washington D.C. concrete markets.

This segment relies on the company's reserves of aggregates, functioning essentially as a customer to its aggregates operations. Ready-mixed concrete consists of cement and other cement-related materials (such as fly ash and slag), aggregates (crushed stone and sand), chemical admixtures, and water and is measured in cubic yards. Aggregates are a major component in ready-mixed concrete, comprising approximately 80% by weight of this product. The company meets the aggregates requirements of its Concrete segment primarily through its Aggregates segment. These product transfers are made at local market prices for the particular grade and quality of material required.

Cement is the binding agent used to bind water, crushed stone, and sand in the production of ready-mixed concrete. Other industrial byproducts, such as fly ash from coal-burning power plants and slag from the manufacture of iron and silica fume, have cement-related properties that allow them to be used as substitutes for cement depending on the specifications. The company purchases cement-related materials from a few suppliers in each of its major geographic markets. Chemical admixtures are generally purchased from suppliers under national purchasing agreements.

Seasonality

The company's sales and earnings are sensitive to national, regional, and local economic conditions, demographic and population fluctuations, and particularly to cyclical swings in construction spending, primarily in the private sector.

Customers

In 2024, the company's five largest customers accounted for approximately 8% of its total revenues. Although approximately 40% to 55% of the company's aggregates shipments have historically been used in publicly funded construction, such as highways, airports, and government buildings, a relatively small portion of its sales are made directly to federal, state, county, or municipal governments/agencies. Therefore, the vast majority of the company's business is not directly subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts with local, state, or federal governments. In addition, the company's sales to government entities span several hundred entities coast-to-coast, ensuring that negative changes to various government budgets would have a muted impact across such a diversified set of government customers.

Governmental Regulation

The company's operations are subject to numerous laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and worker health and safety, including regulation of facility air emissions and water discharges, waste management, protection of wetlands, listed and threatened species, noise, and dust exposure control for workers, and safety regulations under both Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

The company has received notices from the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) or similar state or local agencies that it is considered a potentially responsible party (PRP) at a limited number of sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund) or similar state and local environmental laws.

History

The company was founded in 1909. The company, a New Jersey corporation, was incorporated in 2007. The company was formerly known as Virginia Holdco, Inc. and changed its name to Vulcan Materials Company.
