Hope Construction Materials is a producer of cement, concrete, aggregates and asphalt in the United Kingdom. Before 1 April 2014 Hope Construction Materials was the trading name for the two entities Hope Cement Limited and Hope Ready Mix Concrete Limited. The company has assets including the UK's largest cement plant at Hope, Derbyshire and a network of 170 ready-mix concrete plants as well as aggregate extraction and logistics operations. As of 2014 the company employs 900 people. ==History== In February 2011, cement company Lafarge and mining company Anglo American agreed to merge their British construction materials businesses. The deal was set to combine Anglo American's Tarmac UK unit, employing 4,500 people, with Lafarge's cement, concrete and aggregate quarries, depots and terminals. Due to the size of the venture, the Office of Fair Trading referred it to the UK's Competition Commission, who concluded in May 2012 that, because of the potential loss of competition in the aggregates, asphalt, cement and ready-mix concrete markets, some of their assets should be sold.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Competition & Markets Authority case - Anglo American PLC / Lafarge S.A. merger inquiry )〕 In November 2012, Lafarge and Anglo American agreed to sell £285 million worth of British assets to Mittal Investments. In December of that year, Anglo American's Tarmac unit became Hope Ready Mixed Concrete Limited,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hope Ready Mixed Concrete Ltd )〕 whilst Lafarge's assets became Hope Cement Limited.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hope Cement Limited )〕 The deal was completed in January 2013 with the creation of Hope Construction Materials.〔 The two firms, Hope Cement Limited, and Hope Ready Mixed Concrete Limited, traded under the name ''Hope Construction Materials'';〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Hope Construction Materials - About Us Leaflet )〕 the two entities merged on 1 April 2014, creating Hope Construction Materials Limited. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hope Construction Materials」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
