November 25, 2024

Thomson Geer has advised the owners of Australian precast concrete products maker Civilmart Group on the sale of the company to Ireland-based building materials group CRH.

Thomson Geer advised The Copulos Group and private equity firm CPEC Capital on all aspects of the transaction, including due diligence, competition issues, taxation and employment matters. The team also prepared all transaction documents and advised on the deal structure.

The Thomson Geer team was led by Partner Jason Marcus who said: "We are pleased to have worked with Civilmart's owners on this transformative deal that brings it into the global CRH family."

Civilmart has facilities in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory, South Australia and Western Australia, producing concrete pipes, poles, sleepers and water storage for customers around the country.

CRH provides building materials across a wide range of industries around the world. Earlier this year the company acquired Australian building materials group Adbri for $2.1 billion.

Jason was supported by Senior Associate Hansel Tsang and Lawyer Katherine Lee, as well as Partner Jonathon Corlett and Associate Elodie Bethuel on employment matters, Partner Cameron Forbes on tax matters and Partners George Lukic and Stephen Voss on competition matters.
