Supermix Acquires Continental Florida Materials Ready-Mix Assets In Southeast Florida
This acquisition, which reinforces Supermix's standing as the largest independent concrete producer and supplier in southeast Florida, is a vote of confidence not only in the construction industry's future, but in Florida's economic future
Online, September 13, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Central Concrete Supermix, Inc., d/b/a Supermix™, Florida's largest independent producer of concrete products, completed the acquisition of all ready-mix plants and related assets of Continental Florida Materials, Inc. ("Continental"), a subsidiary of Lehigh-Hanson, Inc. and the Heidelberg Cement Group.
The acquisition included Continental's ten (10) ready-mix concrete batch plants in southeastern Florida and approximately 80 trucks, considerably increasing Supermix™'s production and service capacity. Continental will retain a strong presence throughout the State of Floirda, focusing on supplying aggregates and
cement products to Florida's ready-mix industry including Supermix™.
Established in 1989 with only two plants and 20 trucks, Supermix™ has grown consistently during the last two and a half decades and will now operate fourteen (14) locations from Fort Pierce to the Florida Keys, seventeen (17) ready-mix batch plants, over 200 ready-mix trucks, and a masonry concrete block and concrete paver production facility for Superblock™ and Superpaver™. Company executives say this is a strategic move not only because it is a significant investment and expansion for Supermix™, but it is also a vote of confidence in the future of Florida's construction industry and in the state's economic recovery.
This expansion follows Supermix™'s corporate philosophy of growing the business steadily and always being "on time," "on target" with its clients' projects. The Supermix™ team will now have an added capacity to serve commercial, single-family residential and high-rise customers, and the ability to deliver its outstanding concrete products to job sites, large and small, throughout Florida.
The acquisition closed in the month of August, 2012, and Supermix™ was represented by Marili Cancio of Cancio Johnson & Echarte PL.
