BORAL PROFILE
Boral Limited is Australia’s largest building and construction material in Australia, and has significant operations in the USA and in Asia. With some A$4 billion worth of sales, Boral has over 14,500 employees working across more than 660 operating sites.
Boral produces and distributes a broad range of construction material, including quarry products, cement, fly ash, pre-mix concrete and asphalt; and building products, including clay bricks and pavers, clay and concrete roof tiles, concrete masonry products, plasterboard, windows and timber. Boral primarily serves customers in the building and construction industries with operations concentrated in three key geographical markets – Australia, the USA and Asia.
The Boral Group has leading market positions in all three geographic markets. Boral is the largest brick and roof tile manufacturer in the USA and through its joint venture with Lafarge, Boral is the largest plasterboard producer in South East Asia.
Boral has operated solely as a construction materials and building products group since the demerger in January 2000, when the old Boral Group, which also included an energy business, was demerged into two industry specific listed companies, new Boral and Origin Energy Limited.
