Oldcastle APG acquires recycling and mulch operation of SJAP

ATLANTA – Oldcastle APG, a CRH company, has acquired the recycling and mulch operation of South Jersey Agriculture Products (SJAP), a regional manufacturer of lawn and garden products located in southern New Jersey. A long-time co-packing partner, SJAP fits into Oldcastle APG’s existing portfolio, elevating Oldcastle APG’s manufacturing capabilities in the soil and mulch product categories. SJAP’s lawn and garden products are made from recycled materials.

Supporting its strategy to provide integrated end-to-end solutions to customers across the country, Oldcastle APG’s acquisition of SJAP’s recycling and mulch operation enables increased production capacity and market share growth in the desirable Mid-Atlantic region, augmenting its expansion into the lawn and garden category. This move succeeds several notable acquisitions made by Oldcastle APG to supplement its presence in the landscape materials space. Shortly after acquiring Buckeye Resources in 2019, Oldcastle APG acquired B&B Bedding and CST in 2020 – all of which enhanced its lawn and garden position across the Midwest.

“We are excited to continue growing our Lawn & Garden business in the Mid-Atlantic region with the addition of SJAP’s recycling and mulch operation to the APG family,” said Tim Ortman, president, Oldcastle APG. “SJAP’s complementary product offering, high-quality manufacturing system and extensive industry experience will help strengthen our lawn and garden business in the region.”

The acquisition was finalized in December 2021.
