Heidelberg Materials announced today that it has completed the purchase of The SEFA Group Inc., the largest recycler of fly ash sold for use in concrete products in the United States. This acquisition further strengthens the company’s cementitious footprint in the key Southeastern U.S. market and provides a solid platform for growth on the path to carbon neutrality.

Based in Lexington, South Carolina, the operations of The SEFA Group include five business units, five utility partners, 20 locations and more than 500 employees. The SEFA Group currently supplies quality fly ash to more than 800 concrete plants in 13 states.
