Building materials specialist Breedon Group PLC (LON:BREE) has extended its reach in the Midlands with the acquisition of Pro Mini Mix, a ready mix concrete operator based in Oldbury.
Subsidiary Breedon Southern is buying Pro Mini Mix, which will enable it to take advantage of the booming construction markets in and around Birmingham.
Breedon Southern already runs a mini mix business, 1stMix, in the East Midlands and East Anglia and Pro Mini Mix will now be based at its new ready-mixed concrete plant in Walsall,
Tim Hall, chief executive of Breedon Southern, said: "Pro Mini Mix is the perfect complement to 1stMix.
"It has a well established reputation in the West Midlands market, with a strong local service ethos and a great team. It also offers us another valuable route to market for our aggregates and cement."
Breedon Group is the UK's largest independent construction materials group.
Pro Mini Mix operates a fleet of eight mixer trucks and specialises in delivering small loads of ready-mixed concrete and screeds.
