Oldcastle APG has acquired Master Block Inc., a single plant operator in El Mirage, Ariz. The producer will seamlessly integrate into a regional concrete masonry, hardscapes and packaged dry mix platform anchored by Phoenix-based Superlite, a charter Oldcastle APG business. Additionally, Pebble Technology International, a Scottsdale, Ariz. sister business specializing in swimming pool finishes, offers West region customers expanded access to a comprehensive suite of end-to-end building, hardscape and outdoor living solutions.

“We are thrilled to welcome Master Block to the Oldcastle APG family, strengthening our masonry and fence block production in the greater Phoenix area,” says President Tim Ortman. “With Master Block’s impressive assets and performance, we enhance our existing plant network, optimize production of high-quality concrete block, and improve our ability to meet demand in what has proved to be an attractive growth market.” The acquisition is another key step in an Oldcastle APG strategy to offer complete outdoor living solutions to customers across the country, he adds, enabling people to connect, reflect and recharge so they can “Live Well Outside.”
