About CRH plcAbout CRH plc
CRH was formed in 1970 through a merger of two Irish public companies. These
were Irish Cement (founded in 1936) and Roadstone (founded in 1949). The Group
was first called “Cement-Roadstone Holdings”, which was later abbreviated to CRH
CRH’s strategy since then has been to become an international leader in building
materials, delivering superior performance and growth, with sustained shareholder
returns. It has reduced its dependence on individual markets by achieving a balance
in its geographic presence and portfolio of products
In 1970 the Group’s sales totalled €26m, 95% of which were in Ireland, while 2004
sales amounted to €13bn spread over 24 countries. The Group has averaged over
19% total shareholder return per annum since 1970
CRH now employs over 60,000 people at 2,100 locations in Europe and in the
Americas, with its headquarters at Belgard Castle in Dublin
CRH ranks among the top 5 in its sector worldwide
Our website www.crh.com contains extensive information about CRH
