In 1965 Roadstone completed another key merger. This time it was with John A wood, who was a significant player in the South West. John a Wood was always a supporter of Roadstone, having assisted the initial launch on the Dublin stock exchange in 1949. This was a big move for Roadstone establishing it as a business with the potential for huge growth.

Roadstone will be exhibiting at the Tullamore Show this Sunday. Visit the stand to learn about Cubicle Lime, Grolime and our range of decorative stone on offer. For a chance to win €1,000 of Roadstone products make sure to visit the stand and enter the draw.

1961 saw another major development for Roadstone in a merger with Clondalkin Concrete, a readymix producer of concrete in Dublin. This would further allow the development of Roadstone and its concrete business in the Dublin area. Here we see a truck from the very early days of Roadstone.

Printing has concluded on Ireland's first 3D concrete printed social housing scheme for Louth County Council in partnership with Harcourt Technologies Ltd.

After 75 years in business Roadstone continues to innovate ensuring it remains a leader of construction materials in Ireland.

Arklow Quarry was first established in 1877 by Charles Stewart Parnell, who saw an opportunity to excavate basalt for the British market. During this period of Victorian urban expansion, there was a huge demand for durable stone to construct roads, quays and bridges. After acquiring the location, management at Roadstone could see the potential to reinvigorate the export market. In 1959 Arklow sea port was reopened to provide direct on-site access to wharf facilities for sea transport. Today the wharf remains active.
