The European Commission has cleared CRH's €693 million acquisition of Dutch materials company Cementbouw.
CRH reached agreement with Cementbouw in July to acquire the company's distribution and building products operations.
CRH has now also reached conditional agreement to acquire a 45 per cent stake in a leveraged buyout of Cementbouw's materials operations.
CRH said in a statement today it now expects to close both transactions by early October.
