("Action"), which supplies the Philadelphia metropolitan market with high-quality, high-strength ready-mixed concrete to commercial and infrastructure construction projects.

Action is Pennsylvania Department of Transportation approved and has the capabilities to meet stringent specifications. Action's well-known projects in Philadelphia include Lincoln Financial Field, Citizens Bank Park, FMC Tower and the South Street Bridge replacement.

"This acquisition continues our strategy of finding great businesses in new markets with future bolt-on and consolidation opportunities. The Philadelphia metro market is a mature and stable market with many of the same attributes in our other successful markets. Action's ability to meet demanding specifications in difficult operating environments fits the U.S. Concrete model and I am pleased to welcome them to our family of companies."
