acquisitions

Knife River has a proven track record of acquisition and expansion within the construction materials industry.

Since 1992, Knife River has completed more than 60 deals and is constantly looking for further growth opportunities. Our strategy is to acquire established businesses that have a proven history of performance, strong management, workplace safety and environmental compliance. In addition, we are seeking to grow our materials-based operations and to target opportunities in mid-sized markets that have above average growth potential.

If you own or know of a business that would complement our operations, please feel free to contact us at acquisitions@kniferiver.com.
