Oldcastle APG Acquires US MIX and US SPEC

Oldcastle APG is pleased to announce our acquisition of industry-leading dry mix manufacturer US MIX. The acquisition fills a key gap in our dry mix manufacturing footprint and further expands our worldwide network of facilities to the thriving Denver, CO market. In addition, the acquisition provides valuable materials science expertise and adds another strong brand, US SPEC, to the existing Oldcastle APG dry mix product portfolio of Sakrete and Amerimix.

US MIX primarily operates out of a manufacturing facility in Denver, with a secondary specialty bagging location in Fontana, CA. Founded in 1968, US MIX has been privately owned by the Peterson family for over 50 years. Its product offerings align seamlessly with our product portfolio and include bagged concretes, mortars and specialty cement mixes, in addition to liquid repair products.

US MIX currently operates as a Sakrete and Amerimix licensee and offers a variety of specialty products under the well-known US SPEC brand. US SPEC products are professionally engineered concrete and masonry repair products used in a variety of applications, formulated and tested in laboratory conditions under ASTM testing methods and specifications.

Tim Ortman, Oldcastle APG President, “This is a significant acquisition for Oldcastle APG that will allow us to better service our customers in this growing region with enhanced manufacturing capabilities of our Sakrete, Amerimix, and now US SPEC brands. From geography to product portfolio to brand power, APG and US MIX’s complementary strengths will help establish our positioning and strategic growth possibilities for long-term success in the packaged products category.”

Bruce Peterson, CEO of US MIX, “We are excited about our acquisition by an industry-leading company like Oldcastle APG. Furthermore, as a family business, we strongly identify with APG’s commitment to family heritage and a local-first customer service mindset. As longtime licensees of Sakrete and Amerimix, we stand behind the quality of APG’s products and look forward to the mutual success we will bring each other and the market.”
