Booth Concrete & Booth Precast carry on the business of quarrying and processing sand and gravel, at the main plant in Abbeyleix.

These materials are blended, washed, screened and processed to produce a very high quality raw material which is then used in the manufacture of ready-mix concrete, blocks, flooring and precast products.

These concrete products are then delivered to the customers by the Company owned fleet along with several outside contactors.

The plant is well located to meet the needs of such towns as Abbeyleix, Portlaoise, Mountmellick, Tullamore, Kilkenny, Carlow, Castlecomer, Athy, Mountrath, Urlingford, Kildare and Monasterevin, for readymix concrete via a good local road network.

Precast products such as chimney systems and flooring are delivered to all 32 counties

The Company has grown to become one of the largest family owned and managed concrete producers in the midlands and owes it success to a “hands on approach” by the directors primarily aimed at giving a top rate service along with high quality product at a competitive price.

The Company has invested heavily in training over the years and has developed a young vibrant management team which are well motivated and give “drive and flexibility” which is vital in the construction supply industry.
