Aggregates were first quarried by local authorities from the deposit located at Laragan, Elphin, Co. Roscommon in the early 1940’s. Today the quarry has grown to be the supplier of choice to all local authorities of the surrounding region.
The deposit is a particularly clean homogenous limestone and is particularly suited for the production and manufacture of road making materials comprising the full spectrum and grades of aggregates.
The crushing plant is one of the most modern in the industry and comprises a unique set of secondary and tertiary processes that produce very consistent clean road making materials.
