Breedon completes Booth Precast acquisition to bolster Irish operations

Breedon Group plc has completed the acquisition of Booth Precast Products Limited, strengthening its position in the Irish construction materials market following approval from the Competition Authority.

Booth, based in County Laois, has supplied quarrying and concrete products to the Irish construction sector for more than 25 years, building a reputation for quality, sustainability and customer service. The business operates from its headquarters in Laois and serves customers across the region.

The deal aligns with Breedon’s growth strategy in Ireland, securing additional mineral reserves to support rising demand in the Dublin market while enhancing vertical integration through the addition of Booth’s concrete operations.

With the transaction now finalised, 32 Booth employees have joined Breedon, further expanding the Group’s footprint in Ireland.

Declan Carr, CEO of Breedon Ireland, said: “We are delighted to welcome Booth and our new colleagues to Breedon. Booth is a well-established and highly regarded business with a strong track record of excellence supplying Irish construction companies. The team’s expertise and extensive customer relationships will further strengthen our operations in the country.

“This acquisition delivers on our strategy in Ireland, providing Breedon with a valuable source of aggregates to supply the growing Dublin market and expanding our concrete business, as well as our ability to serve customers with a broad, vertically-integrated platform.”

Breedon operates a vertically integrated model across Great Britain, Ireland and the United States, supplying aggregates, cement, concrete and asphalt to infrastructure and construction markets. The addition of Booth enhances its ability to support ongoing housing, commercial and infrastructure development across Ireland.
