Company Profile

Forterra plc is a UK manufacturer of brick, block and bespoke building products (including engineered precast concrete flooring). It had been part of Hanson Building Products and was owned by HeidelbergCement (HEI), which sold its building products operations (US and UK) to an affiliate of Lone Star in March 2015. The UK business was subsequently renamed Forterra, which listed on the London Stock Exchange in Q2 2016. All of Forterra's revenues are generated in the UK, where it is the second-biggest manufacturer of bricks, and over 90% of the group's exposure is to the residential sector.
