Business and Finance

Vulcan Materials Company (NYSE:VMC) is a company that is engaged in the production, distribution, and sales of construction materials. Based in Birmingham, Alabama, the company has over 300 facilities and employs over 7,000 people. Founded in 1909, initially as Birmingham Slag Company, Vulcan has become the largest supplier of construction aggregates serving over 20 states. The company’s Crescent Market project was the coup de gras, leading to the development of a large quarry coupled with a deep-water seaport on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. This quarry supplies almost every Gulf of Mexico seaport in the U.S. with crushed limestone by virtue of 62,000-ton self-discharging ships.
