CRH - January 2016

CRH raised some EUR960m from disposals during 2015, of which the disposal of the British and American clay operations accounted for EUR430m. The next biggest divestment was the sale of a 25 per cent interest in the sole cement producer in Israel. It spent some EUR8m on 22 acquisitions during 2015, notably the assets acquired from Holcim and Lafarge and CR Laurence in North America.
