On 21 September 2017, CRH plc announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire Ash Grove Cement Company, a leading U.S. cement manufacturer headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, for a total consideration of US$3.5 billion.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has now issued its consent order for this transaction and no further regulatory approvals are outstanding.
