ASHEBORO AND MEBANE, NC / ACCESS Newswire / January 5, 2026 / Hardrock Ready Mix announced today that it has acquired Piedmont Ready Mix from VL Concrete, Inc., a company owned by Victor Lopez. The acquisition expands Hardrock Ready Mix's footprint in central North Carolina and strengthens its ability to serve customers across the region.

The transaction includes Piedmont Ready Mix's existing concrete plant in Asheboro, North Carolina, as well as a second plant currently under construction in Mebane, North Carolina. The deal is effective January 1, 2026.

"This acquisition represents a strategic step forward for Hardrock Ready Mix," said Drew Boggs, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hardrock Ready Mix. "Piedmont Ready Mix has built a strong reputation for quality and service under Victor's leadership, and we are excited to build on that foundation while expanding our operational capacity and geographic reach. I have known Victor for over a decade and share his commitment to customers, employees, and operational excellence. Our goal is to ensure a seamless transition while continuing to drive meaningful growth across the region."

Victor Lopez, owner of VL Concrete, Inc., commented on the transaction: "This sale reflects our long-term strategic focus.

We believe Hardrock Ready Mix is well positioned to continue serving Piedmont Ready Mix customers and employees with the same commitment to quality."

The Asheboro facility will continue operations under Hardrock Ready Mix ownership, while construction of the Mebane plant will proceed as planned.
