Angelle Business Overview

Angelle Concrete Group, LLC is a leading vertically integrated supplier of cement and ready mix concrete serving the Louisiana market. Founded in Jennings, LA in 1947, ACG has grown through acquisitions to establish a network of 28 ready mix facilities serving both large and midsized cities and rural areas in contiguous markets in southern and central Louisiana. Through these operations, the Company produces a balanced mix of residential, commercial, and highway/infrastructure applications. Utilizing its scale and strategic location at the base of the Mississippi River, the Company began to vertically integrate in 2000 with the construction of its first cement terminal. Today, ACG operates cement terminals in Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, and LaPlace.

Over the past decade, ACG management has developed an aggressive growth strategy and made significant investments in the Company to capitalize on its position within Louisiana. This strategy involves (i) increasing ACG's regional concrete density within existing markets, (ii) expanding its concrete operations into adjacent markets, (iii) entering the cement importation business and establishing a terminal network, and (iv) developing critical, strategic relationships to help support the Company's rapid growth. ACG has accomplished the following by implementing this strategy.

  • Since 1998, ACG has completed seven acquisitions more than doubling its annual concrete volume
  • In 2000, ACG constructed cement terminals in Baton Rouge and Lake Charles, LA and began importing cement from overseas producers
  • In 2005, ACG constructed a concrete plant in Alexandria, LA to expand its presence in the central region of the state. During 2005, ACG also acquired a stake in Village Sand, Inc., which provides 100% of the Company's sand needs in the Lake Charles region
  • In 2006, the Company expanded its Baton Rouge cement terminal by installing a new docksider with a capacity of 350 tons per hour, therefore increasing annual capacity
  • In 2007, ACG completed the acquisition of Delta Concrete Products, a ready mix provider located in Baton Rouge. The Company also constructed a new cement terminal in LaPlace and a new ready mix plant in Baton Rouge.

November 2007 ACG embarked on several strategic initiatives designed to enhance the Company's focus on its core Louisiana market. These initiatives included the relocation of the Company's corporate headquarters from Jennings to Baton Rouge in March 2008 and the successful consolidation of three administrative offices into one location, providing a more efficient infrastructure to operate the business. ACG hired Brian Trauernicht as CFO in June 2008 and started an aggressive strategy to integrate all companies into one modern, state of the art accounting/operating platform.

ACG has also implemented numerous operational and infrastructure initiatives that have improved each of the functional areas of the business. As part of the operational initiatives, the Company conducted a detailed review of its rolling stock and developed a plan to reduce delivery and maintenance costs by modernizing its fleet. Additionally, ACG has embarked on a mission to introduce new products and services to the market such as the ability to sell and deliver architectural and colored concretes. The Company is also expanding into the arena of large state highway projects by adding portable paving plants to its asset mix and key personnel with extensive experience in these areas to its team.
