## Products & services

Vulcan Materials’ principal products are construction aggregates: crushed stone, sand and gravel, including base stone, coarse stone and fine aggregates. Its crushed stone is used for road bases, railroad ballast, drainage and erosion control; fine aggregates include natural and manufactured sand for concrete, masonry and bedding. The company also supplies specialty stone such as riprap and jetty stone, and finely crushed limestone for agricultural lime. Aggregate grades and availability vary by location. [9](https://www.vulcanmaterials.com/construction-materials/products-and-services/construction-aggregates)[10](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P99166986)

Vulcan produces asphalt mix and ready-mixed concrete using aggregates, which account for approximately 95% and 80% of those products’ respective weights. Its concrete mixes can be tailored with cementitious materials and chemical, mineral or fiber admixtures to meet project requirements. Related services include asphalt paving, technical assistance, delivery and aggregates-related services such as landfill tipping. The company also offers recycled concrete and asphalt materials where practical. [11](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P80982972)[12](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P11801778)[13](https://www.vulcanmaterials.com/construction-materials/products-and-services/ready-mixed-concrete/concrete-products/concrete-mix-design)[14](https://www.vulcanmaterials.com/construction-materials/products-and-services/recycled-materials)

After eliminating sales between segments, aggregates accounted for approximately 73% of Vulcan’s 2025 revenue, asphalt 16% and concrete 11%. These are segment shares rather than revenue percentages for individual products; service revenue, which spans the business, represented about 4% of the total.

## Geographic presence

Vulcan Materials principally serves markets in 23 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as local markets near its operations in the Bahamas and British Columbia, Canada. Its East sales market spans parts of the eastern and central U.S.; its Gulf Coast market includes the southeastern U.S. and Texas; and its West market includes Arizona, California, Hawaii, New Mexico and British Columbia. The company is headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. [16](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P106508371)[17](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P48288661)[18](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P98748593)[19](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P106626499)[20](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P67454745)

In 2025, U.S. revenue was $7,926.2 million, approximately 99.8% of consolidated revenue; non-U.S. aggregates revenue was $14.9 million. Sales attributed to the East, Gulf Coast and West geographic markets were $2,452.7 million, $3,687.7 million and $2,297.8 million, respectively, before intersegment eliminations. The company reported 421 active aggregates facilities at year-end 2025. Its British Columbia quarry also supplies California and Hawaii by sea. [21](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P28283045)[15](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T12027791)[22](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T9797394)[23](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P16376981)

## Business segments

Vulcan Materials reports three operating and reportable segments: Aggregates, Asphalt and Concrete. Based on 2025 revenue from external customers, Aggregates contributed approximately 73%, Asphalt 16% and Concrete 11%. The Aggregates share excludes sales to Vulcan’s other segments, which are eliminated from consolidated revenue. [25](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P51229342)[11](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P80982972)[5](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1396009/000162828026009546/vmc-20251231.htm)

Aggregates produces and sells crushed stone, sand and gravel, and related products; it also includes a calcium-carbonate operation. Asphalt produces asphalt mix and provides paving services. Concrete produces ready-mixed concrete using materials that include aggregates, cement-related ingredients and water.

## Company history

Vulcan Materials traces its origins to Birmingham Slag Company, founded in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1909. In 1956, Birmingham Slag merged with Vulcan Detinning and adopted the Vulcan Materials Company name. The company began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in 1957 and also established a chemicals division that year. [31](https://www.vulcanmaterials.com/our-company/our-history)

Vulcan expanded its construction-materials business through the acquisition of CalMat in 1999. It exited the chemicals business in 2005, then acquired Florida Rock in 2007, extending its presence in the southeastern and mid-Atlantic United States. [31](https://www.vulcanmaterials.com/our-company/our-history)[32](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/103973/000089882205000549/vulcanform8k.txt)[33](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1396009/000095012307015677/y42706kexv99w3.htm) Subsequent portfolio changes included the 2014 sale of its Florida cement and concrete assets and the acquisition of U.S. Concrete in 2021.
