Arcline Equity Holdings, a subsidiary of Zachry Corporation, has announced its agreement to acquire the operations of Jarco Ready Mix. This acquisition includes six strategically located batch plants throughout South Texas, allowing Arcline to establish a new entity known as Arcline Ready Mix. This new company will focus on providing high-quality ready-mix concrete to customers in the region, enhancing their ability to meet local demand effectively.
The acquisition brings several significant benefits to the South Texas community and the surrounding region:
1.) Sustained and Expanded Employment: Arcline is committed to retaining all 87 employees currently working at the acquired sites. The company also has plans for future expansion as the operations grow, which will create more job opportunities in the community. By supporting the local workforce, Arcline aims to foster economic stability in the area.
2.) Reliable Local Supply: With the integration of these batch plants, Arcline will be able to deliver ready-mix concrete closer to where it is needed for construction projects. This proximity enhances efficiency by reducing both transportation costs and the carbon footprint associated with long-distance shipping. So local contractors and developers will benefit from faster service and reduced logistical delays.
3.) Support for Infrastructure Growth: South Texas is experiencing significant population and commercial growth, leading to an increased demand for construction materials, particularly concrete. Arcline Ready Mix is poised to respond to this rising demand by serving local contractors, developers, and municipalities. The ability to provide materials promptly will aid in the timely completion of various infrastructure projects, which is crucial for the region’s development.
4.) Environmental Responsibility: Arcline is dedicated to operating in an environmentally responsible manner at all its facilities. This commitment includes ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, implementing effective dust control measures, and practicing responsible land management. By prioritizing sustainable operations, Arcline aims to minimize its environmental impact and make a positive contribution to the communities it serves.
Overall, the acquisition of Jarco Ready Mix is a strategic move for Arcline Equity Holdings, promising not only to enhance its operational capabilities but also to contribute significantly to the economic and environmental well-being of the South Texas region.
