Oldcastle’s roots are seated in the rich history of two entrepreneurial brothers who went into business in 1930s Ireland with nothing more than a sand and gravel pit and a single truck. Our growth has been fueled by the pioneering spirit of Oldcastle’s first employees, who forty years later crossed the Atlantic Ocean full of optimism and a commitment to building relationships. They sealed the first deal, acquiring Amcor in 1978, and planted CRH’s first footprint in North America – under the name Oldcastle.

Today, Oldcastle is the largest building materials company in North America and operates with these five Guiding Principles. These principles embody the values of the hundreds of entrepreneurs who make up the family of businesses known as Oldcastle.
