Included in this acquisition are four quarries, three sand and gravel pits, a trucking business, two asphalt plants, 70 million metric tons of reserves and about 200 employees. Heidelberg Materials and Carver Companies have also agreed on a strategic partnership in the Albany area for land and marine logistics.
Carver Sand & Gravel is an established materials producer based in New York’s Capital Region, a vibrant and diverse area that is close to all major markets of the Northeastern U.S. A recognized tech hub, the Capital Region is also home to 23 higher education institutions and a host of growth industries, including digital innovation development, clean energy and semiconductors.
