(Data as of 2012)The market
Hanson Israel, based in Ramat Gan near Tel Aviv, operates three aggregate quarries, two asphalt plants, and 26 ready-mixed concrete plants.
In 2011, we saw a pleasing increase in deliveries of aggregates, thanks to solid demand for ready-mixed concrete and the increased construction activity in the infrastructure sector. The asphalt operating line in Israel recorded a substantial increase of more than 30% in sales volumes.
