Over the past year, Construction Partners has repeatedly used acquisitions to expand its Sunbelt footprint, adding plants and crews in Tennessee, Texas and Florida. Prior deals brought multiple hot-mix asphalt plants and hundreds of employees, often integrated into existing platforms like Durwood Greene and PRI. Price reactions to these acquisition announcements have usually been modestly positive, though not uniformly so. Today’s Houston-focused deal fits this ongoing roll-up and capacity-expansion strategy.
