Heidelberg Materials North America Plans Walterboro, South Carolina, Operations

04/20/2025
Building materials supplier Heidelberg Materials North America plans to establish operations in Colleton County, South Carolina. The $7.3 million project is expected to create eight jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a 71-acre aggregates distribution terminal, located at 1616 Red Bank Road, which will market crushed stone. Operations are scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025.

“Our new rail distribution terminal in Colleton County will enable Heidelberg Materials to efficiently and more sustainably supply much-needed construction aggregates to this growing market. The new aggregate depot will be complementary to our recent acquisition of Giant Cement. We are pleased to make this investment in the area and look forward to contributing to the continued growth and prosperity of the Lowcountry region of South Carolina,” Heidelberg Materials North America Southeast Region President Scott Dickson said.

Heidelberg Materials supplies cement, aggregates, ready-mixed concrete, asphalt and other building materials to customers throughout North America. The company currently operates more than 450 North American locations.

“South Carolina is a place where companies come to thrive, and Heidelberg Materials’ decision to invest in another South Carolina community is a testament to that. With access to a major rail network, Colleton County will be an excellent location for the company’s new operation, and we are grateful for Heidelberg Materials’ commitment to our state,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.

“The access to rail infrastructure with our partners at Palmetto Railways was integral in Heidelberg’s site selection. We congratulate Heidelberg and Colleton County on this exciting announcement, and we look forward to working with the company and the county in a continued successful partnership,” added SouthernCarolina Alliance President and CEO Danny Black.
