ATLANTA – Oldcastle APG, a CRH Company, extends its geographic
reach with the acquisition of B&B Bedding, a regional manufacturer of lawn
and garden products. As a long-time co-packing partner, the company fits into
APG’s existing portfolio. Derived from recycled valued woods and natural
resources, B&B Bedding lawn and garden products are environmentally safe.
Founded in 1984, B&B
Bedding specializes in manufacturing bagged and bulk mulches and soils from
facilities in Oskaloosa, Iowa, and McLean, Illinois. The company supplies
retail and independent customers throughout the Midwestern U.S.
The acquisition
follows several purchases by Oldcastle APG in both landscape materials and
concrete products. In 2019, APG acquired Ohio mulch manufacturer Buckeye
Resources, followed closely by the acquisitions of Allied Concrete Products,
Abbotsford Concrete Products and US MIX.
“We look forward to
enhancing APG’s geographic footprint to better service our customers throughout
the Midwest with the acquisition of B&B Bedding,” said Oldcastle APG
President, Tim Ortman. “In addition to its manufacturing capabilities and
industry expertise, the company’s product offering fits seamlessly with ours
and will strengthen and complement our position in the lawn and garden
segment.”
The deal was finalized in
late June 2020.
