ATLANTA, Dec. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Oldcastle APG,
a CRH company, has acquired the recycling and mulch operations of
South Jersey Agriculture Products (SJAP), a leading regional
manufacturer of lawn and garden products located in southern
New Jersey. A long-time co-packing
partner, SJAP fits seamlessly into Oldcastle APG's existing
portfolio, elevating Oldcastle APG's manufacturing capabilities in
the soil and mulch product categories. Made entirely from recycled
materials, SJAP's lawn and garden products not only improve outdoor
aesthetics, but also promote soil health and biodiversity in
outdoor areas.
Supporting its strategy to provide integrated end-to-end
solutions to customers across the country, Oldcastle APG's
acquisition of SJAP's recycling and mulch operations enables
increased production capacity and market share growth in the
desirable Mid-Atlantic region, augmenting its expansion into the
lawn and garden category. This move follows notable acquisitions
made by Oldcastle APG to supplement its presence in the landscape
materials space. Shortly after acquiring Buckeye Resources in 2019,
Oldcastle APG acquired B&B Bedding and CST in 2020 – all of
which enhanced its lawn and garden position across the Midwest.
"We are excited to continue growing our Lawn & Garden
business in the Mid-Atlantic region with the addition of SJAP's
recycling and mulch operations to the APG family," said
Tim Ortman, President, Oldcastle
APG. "SJAP's complementary product offering, high-quality
manufacturing and strategic geographic position will help
strengthen our ability to best serve our customers in this
area."
The acquisition was finalized in December
2021.
