Case Construction Equipment last week announced that Oldcastle Materials, a leading vertically integrated supplier of aggregates, asphalt, ready-mix concrete and paving services, selected Case as one of only three preferred suppliers of construction equipment to its $6 billion operation.

Oldcastle Materials is a federation of companies with more than 1,200 locations in 41 states. According to James Hasler, vice president, Case Construction Equipment-North America, Case will support Oldcastle's equipment needs through its network of 240 dealer locations across the United States.

“Case has an outstanding reputation and has earned preferred supplier status based on key criteria as defined by our Equipment Advisory Board,” said Michael Coffey, vice president of Equipment Services, Oldcastle Materials. “This includes the performance and quality of Case equipment, the strength of their dealer network, a commitment to uptime, and the can-do attitude of their people.”

Case Construction Equipment sells and supports a full line of construction equipment around the world, including loader/backhoes, articulated trucks, excavators, motor graders, wheel loaders, vibratory compaction rollers, crawler dozers, skid steers, compact track loaders and rough-terrain forklifts.

Oldcastle Materials annually produces 199 tons of aggregates, 68 million tons of asphalt and 11 million cubic yards of ready-mix concrete at more than 1,200 locations nationwide.
