Oldcastle APG Adds Grant County Mulch Bagging Assets

Grant County Mulch, a renowned maker and distributor of mulch, soil, and decorative stone headquartered in Petersburg, West Virginia, has sold its bagging operations to Oldcastle APG, a CRH firm.

Oldcastle APG’s Lawn & Garden division will operate the acquired assets, which comprise five bagging facilities.

“We are very pleased to welcome Grant County Mulch’s highly complementary resources to the APG portfolio,” Tim Ortman, President of Oldcastle APG, stated.

“The addition of its solutions capability to our Lawn & Garden business will help strengthen our competitive positioning in the Mid-Atlantic US while enhancing our ability to best serve our customers across the country.”

Grant County Mulch’s geographic platform will enable Oldcastle APG’s Lawn & Garden division to broaden its manufacturing presence and provide solutions to a bigger client base in the area, with bagging and distribution facilities throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

The acquisition will also strengthen Oldcastle APG’s current plant network and manufacturing competence.

Grant County Mulch, founded in 1986, swiftly established itself as a prominent supplier of high-quality landscaping materials such as hardwood mulch, color-enhanced mulch, potting soil, pine nuggets, compost, and stone.

Oldcastle APG’s drive to developing premium packaged products and environmentally sensitive procedures bolsters the company’s commitment to providing complete and sustainable solutions to its clients.

Grant County Mulch will continue to operate and maintain its bulk mulch and other bulk product operations and facilities.

The addition of Grant County Mulch’s bagging assets to the APG network follows numerous recent purchases by Oldcastle APG, including Soil Mender Products and South Jersey Agriculture Products, all aimed at growing the company’s Lawn & Garden solutions capabilities in appealing markets.
