Operations & Structure
In April 2004 Lagan Holdings Limited was restructured into 5 separate companies each following more closely its specific activities and in 2006 the Lagan companies reported a combined turnover of £333m.

Each company pursues a policy of independent operation. Such self-sufficiency and autonomy enables individual companies to nurture long-term relationships with customers and to foresee and be responsive to local requirements.

Companies also benefit from ongoing reinvestment as well as the combined financial strength of their group, technical resources and shared intra-company expertise.

Portfolio & Markets
Lagan is highly active throughout Ireland, the UK and beyond. In international markets the civil engineering division continues to expand, providing a highly reputable service over a wide range of engineering disciplines.
Quarrying, Lagan's original business activity, retains a key role within the portfolio. Lagan produces in excess of 3.5 million tonnes of quarry material every year with reserves to serve the market well into the future.

In addition to quarrying, the materials, cement and bricks divisions manufacture or supply bitumen, sand, cement, roof tiles, ready mix concrete, concrete blocks, bricks and clay products.

The specialist piling, caps and beams division operates across Ireland, while there is also a mature property development and house building division.
