美国司法部要求太平洋水泥与CalPortland剥离3家工厂，以推进以7.12亿美元收购Vulcan预拌混凝土资产
Justice Department Requires Taiheiyo Cement Corporation and CalPortland Company to Divest Assets to Proceed with Acquisition of Ready-Mix Concrete Assets from Vulcan Materials Company
美国司法部反垄断司宣布，要求太平洋水泥及其子公司CalPortland剥离圣迭戈县3家预拌混凝土工厂及相关资产，以应对CalPortland拟以7.12亿美元收购Vulcan Materials预拌混凝土资产引发的竞争担忧。司法部已提起民事反垄断诉讼；随诉状提交的拟议和解若获法院批准，将把相关工厂转让给Holliday Rock，并由其预计聘用部分支持被剥离业务的员工。
拟议交易涉及圣迭戈县预拌混凝土供应集中度；司法部提出的资产剥离安排仍需法院批准。
The Justice Department’s Antitrust Division announced today that it will require Taiheiyo Cement Corporation and its subsidiary CalPortland Company to divest three ready-mix concrete plants along with related assets to address antitrust concerns arising from CalPortland’s proposed $712 million acquisition of ready-mix concrete assets from Vulcan Materials Company.
The civil antitrust lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to block the proposed transaction. At the same time, the proposed settlement filed alongside the complaint, if approved by the court, will address competitive concerns that the transaction would likely cause higher prices, lower quality, and less favorable terms for buyers of ready-mix concrete.
“Ready-mix concrete is a key input for construction and infrastructure projects across the country that are critical to strengthening the American economy,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Omeed A. Assefi of the Antitrust Division. “The Division’s pursuit of structural remedies in this case provides a signal to the broader market about how to structure transactions that deliver efficiency to the market while protecting competition that benefits consumers.”
As alleged in the complaint, CalPortland and Vulcan are two of the leading suppliers of ready-mix concrete in San Diego County, already a highly concentrated market. Ready-mix concrete is essential to home construction, where it is used in foundations, driveways, patios, and swimming pools; commercial construction, where it is used in offices, hotels, warehouses, multi-family residences, and other commercial businesses; and infrastructure projects like bridges, tunnels, and highways.
The proposed settlement requires CalPortland and Vulcan to divest three ready-mix concrete plants in San Diego County to Holliday Rock Co., Inc., an American company with significant experience in ready-mix concrete and other building materials. Holliday Rock is expected to hire certain key CalPortland and Vulcan employees that today support the divested businesses.
Taiheiyo is a Japanese corporation with its headquarters in Tokyo. Taiheiyo operates in the United States through CalPortland, a corporation with its headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada. Taiheiyo reported total revenues of more than $5.5 billion for fiscal year 2025.
Vulcan is a corporation with headquarters in Birmingham, Alabama. In 2025, Vulcan reported total revenues of approximately $7.9 billion.
As required by the Tunney Act, the proposed settlement, along with a competitive impact statement, will be published in the Federal Register. Any person may submit written comments concerning the proposed settlement within 60 days following the publication to Soyoung Choe, Acting Chief, Defense, Industrials, and Aerospace Section, Antitrust Division, U.S. Department of Justice, 450 Fifth Street NW, Suite 8700, Washington, DC 20530. At the conclusion of the public comment period, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia may enter the final judgment upon finding it is in the public interest.
