CRH has shifted from a cyclical European cement producer to a vertically integrated provider of construction materials and infrastructure, with roughly 75% of revenue generated in the U.S. The company is now organized around four connected growth platforms—aggregates, cement, roads and water infrastructure—after about $14 billion of divestitures. Competitive advantages stem from large local reserves, production networks and limited transportable nature of aggregates and cement, allowing durable pricing; moving downstream into asphalt and ready-mix improves cash conversion and reduces capital intensity. » Mere på finance.yahoo.com
