Rogers Group reached an agreement to acquire Rockydale Quarries Corp. and its subsidiaries, including B&S Contracting.
The companies expect the deal to close April 10.
Rockydale Quarries, which was founded in 1932, ranks 93rd on the U.S. Geological Survey’s latest list of the nation’s top 100 crushed stone producers. The company is headquartered in Roanoke, Virginia.
Upon closing, Rockydale’s 10 locations, alongside B&S Contracting, will be integrated into RGI’s Carolinas and Virginia market area under Daniel Littell, who will oversee the alignment of business processes, safety programs and operational strategies to ensure a smooth transition. The current Rockydale management team will continue to lead day-to-day operations and report to Littell.
“Rogers Group is continually evaluating opportunities to expand,” says Jimmy Patton, president and CEO of Rogers Group. “Rockydale is a great fit – both culturally and strategically. We are honored to build on the Willis family’s legacy and combine resources and people in a way that makes Rogers Group even stronger.”
Ken Randolph, president and CEO of Rockydale Quarries, characterizes the deal as a “milestone moment” for Rockydale.
“The owners of Rockydale are proud of our long history and the company we’ve built,” Randolph says. “Rogers Group provides the best opportunity for us to continue growing while ensuring our employees have every chance to reach their full potential.”
Rockydale is the 13th company Rogers Group has added over the last two years. Rockydale and B&S Contracting employ 170 people, who will join Rogers Group’s workforce of more than 3,400.
Rogers Group’s footprint now extends to 13 states.
“We look for companies that share our vision and values – safety, quality, integrity and a commitment to community,” says Dan Lechleiter, vice president of business development at Rogers Group. “Rockydale exemplifies all of these, and we’re excited to welcome them into the Rogers Group family.”
