Thomas Concrete Group expands in the U.S. – acquires assets of a well-known concrete company

Thomas Concrete Group’s U.S. subsidiary has acquired the assets of two of Ford´s Redi-Mix concrete plants in South Carolina, U.S. The assets will be integrated into Thomas Concrete’s existing operations in Charleston and will strengthen the Group’s investments in the U.S. market. The acquisition was completed on January 30th.

Ford´s Redi-Mix has been present in the U.S. market for more than 80 years and has been an important supplier of concrete to the construction industry, primarily in the southeastern coastal regions around Charleston, where Thomas Concrete Inc. operates as well. A growing region based on port-, aero-, and automotive industry and a strong IT sector and tourism.

“Through this acquisition, we are increasing our production capacity, improving logistics, and supporting continued growth in the U.S. construction market. In challenging times, it is important for us as a family owned company to continue building for the long term. This acquisition is an investment for the future, and through it we strengthen our competitiveness and customer service,” says Hans Karlander, CEO and President of Thomas Concrete Group.

William Ford, former founder of Ford´s Redi-Mix, will continue in a commercial role within the company, where his extensive market experience and strong customer relationships will be valuable.

“The acquisition reflects our long-term commitment to the Charleston market, and our focus on building strong local partnerships. By integrating Ford´s Redi-Mix’s assets into our existing operations, we can provide even better support to our customers while developing the legacy of a company that has been part of the region for generations,” says Hans Karlander.

The acquisition was signed on January 30th, and the integration process will begin during spring.
