Adelaide Brighton acquires Penrice quarry, Australia

Adelaide Brighton has acquired the Penrice limestone quarry in Angaston for an undisclosed price.

The quarry, which had been placed into voluntary administration in April, will now become a key raw materials supplier to Adelaide Brighton’s lime and cement plant in Angaston.

“The quarry acquisition represents a strong strategic fit for Adelaide Brighton by securing a high quality marble deposit for the supply of raw material to the company’s Angaston plant for lime and off-white cement manufacture,’’ the company said.
