(Sharecast News) - Lime and limestone specialist SigmaRoc announced the completion of its acquisition of the UK lime operations of CRH on Wednesday, which it first announced on 4 March.
The AIM-traded firm said the acquisition entailed a total consideration of €155m (£133m).

Established in 1891 and headquartered in Buxton, Derbyshire, the business operates from locations in Tunstead and Hindlow, boasting five permitted lime kilns.
In the financial year ended 31 December 2022, it achieved revenue of €105.4m and an operating profit of €19.5m.
