US: Four former owners of Cajun Ready Mix Concrete have launched HRM Concrete, a new ready-mix concrete company in Baton Rouge. The company aims to become a Gulf Coast regional operator. Business Report News has reported that HRM Concrete currently operates three batching plants and 30 mixer trucks.

At the time of its acquisition by Switzerland-based Holcim in 2022, Cajun Ready Mix controlled eight plants and 51 trucks.

US: The board of supervisors of the Pennsylvania township of Salem has approved Daniels Concrete’s construction of its Salem ready-mix concrete batching plant. This is despite a 5m encroachment onto allotted road setback space under transport rules. Under normal permitting processes, proprietors would need to prove special ‘hardship’ in order to be exempted from the restriction. Local press has reported that planning commissioners referred the matter to the board of supervisors given that the plant has operated ‘for years’ without permits.
