 PROFILE
The road to just about everywhere is paved with Vulcan's good intentions. Vulcan Materials is the largest US producer of construction aggregates (the crushed stone, gravel, and sand used in virtually all construction, from highways to housing), sold primarily to the private sector. It also produces industrial and specialty chemicals. The construction-materials unit (about 75% of sales) operates about 200 aggregates plants, as well as about 100 other production and distribution facilities, in the US and Mexico. Vulcan's chemicals businesses make chloralkali and process chemicals (such as chlorine, caustic soda, hydrochloric acid) for pulp and paper processing, water treatment, and other industrial uses.
