Maantiede
The company is based in Dallas, Texas and operates plants and distribution facilities in Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. Sales are overwhelmingly U.S.-based and are typically delivered within a regional radius of the company’s plants, which makes transportation access and local market proximity important to competitiveness.
Riskit
The business is exposed to regional competition, cyclical demand in construction, steel, industrial, and oil and gas markets, and changes in environmental and energy policy that affect lime consumption. Operating performance also depends on quarry safety, weather, transportation availability, energy costs, and the ability to execute capital projects and maintain permits.
