US: Concrete Pipe and Precast has purchased a precast concrete plant in Oxford, North Carolina, for US$4.1m. Triangle Business Journal News has reported that the plant previously belonged to Gate Precast, which announced plans to close it in late 2023. The deal first concluded in July 2024. At that time, Concrete Pipe and Precast said that the Oxford plant would serve as a key location for its future production of dry utility vaults and structures for its core business.

Concrete Pipe and Precast’s parent companies Eagle Corporation and ECPP reportedly concluded a deal to sell Concrete Pipe and Precast to Commercial Metals Company for US$675m in September 2025.

UK: Easymix Concrete UK has acquired a depot in Rainham, London, from fellow ready-mix concrete producer Mix N Lay. The Construction Enquirer newspaper has reported that Easymix Concrete UK expects the site to expand its market access across London and surrounding counties. As part of its plan to tap this potential, the company will invest in a new, ‘modern’ ready-mix concrete plant at the site.

Mix N Lay recently entered administration as a result of rising costs.

Easymix Concrete UK director Steve Brown said "Mix N Lay is one of the longest-standing ready-mix concrete companies across East London and Essex. This is an exciting opportunity to expand our business in what we believe is a fantastic location."

Co-CEOs David McKeown and Derry McKeown said "Kilsaran Precast has developed a unique and highly efficient system for apartment construction, focusing on speed, quality and durability."

Kilsaran already operates plants at nearby Brownstown and in Oranmore, County Galway.
