Vulcan Materials sells Sacramento-area concrete production plants
Vulcan Materials, the national asphalt and read-mixed concrete production company, has sold its Sacramento-area facilities.
On June 8, CalPortland Company announced it purchased the plants and Vulcan Materials mix-concrete assets, according to a company press release. The production facilities are located in Rio Linda, Woodland and Elk Grove.
Vulcan Materials declined to provide an on-the-record comment about the acquisition. CalPortland did not respond to a phone call or email interview request from The Sacramento Bee.
Vulcan, which is based in Birmingham, Alabama, specializes in hot-mix asphalt and is the nation’s largest supplier of construction aggregates including crushed stone, sand and gravel. The company had announced earlier that it is getting out of the ready-mixed concrete market.
In the press release, CalPortland chief executive officer Allen Hamblen said the acquisition would give the company “long-term success.”
“This strategic investment enhances our core capabilities, expands our reach, and reinforces our ability to deliver consistent performance and quality products in an evolving market,” Hamblen said.
CalPortland, which has its headquarters in Glendora, California, makes cement. Its parent company is Taiheiyo Cement, a Japanese company that bought CalPortland in 1990, its website reads.
Vulcan Materials reported net operating earnings of $166 million in the first quarter of 2026, according to regulatory filings. The company had more than 11,000 U.S. employees, as of January.
The Sacramento regional sites are located at 830 W. Elkhorn Blvd. in Rio Linda, 39820 Kentucky Ave. in Woodland and 9228 Survey Road, according to CalPortland’s website.
Mixed concrete business assets in San Francisco and San Diego were also sold to CalPortland, according to the news release.
