Lafarge acquires eight ready-mix plants from James Dick Construction

Lafarge Canada Inc. has acquired eight manufacturing plants from James Dick Construction Ltd. in an effort to bolster its ready-mix concrete business in Ontario.

Located in Alliston, Bolton, Brampton, Caledon, Hamilton, Oshawa and Scarborough, the plants will operate as a separate brand within Lafarge Canada Inc. under the James Dick Concrete name. They will continue to focus on the markets and projects they have traditionally supplied.

In addition, a separate agreement has been made between Lafarge Canada Inc. and Canada Cartage Systems for services related to the delivery of ready mix concrete from the newly acquired plants.
