Sacramento Gravel Producer Buys 2 Sites

RANCHO CORDOVA, CA-Teichert Materials Co., a Sacramento-based gravel producer, has purchased American River Aggregates in Rancho Cordova, as well as a quarry close to Auburn. With the purchase of American River Aggregates, which will be renamed Teichert Grantline Plant, the firm may increase its mining land holdings in Auburn by up to 40%.

The purchase also makes it one of only two major aggregate producers in Sacramento, along with Granite Construction. The plant is located at 3417 Grant Line Road in Rancho Cordova.

By acquiring the quarry in Auburn, the company will expand its business by providing limestone and aggregates to nearby construction sites. The quarry, which is about 1,000 acres, was purchased from Spreckels Limestone Products.

Both sales were made in the last two weeks and prices for either purchase have not been disclosed yet.

In addition to these properties, Teichert also owns the Perkins Plant in southern Sacramento County, four aggregate plants in Woodland and Stockton, and one in Truckee, making it the largest gravel producer in the region.
