Construction Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROAD) is a civil infrastructure company that builds and maintains roadways across eight Sun Belt states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. Its work spans highways, roads, bridges, airports, and commercial and residential site development, serving both public and private sector clients. The company is vertically integrated, handling paving activities, hot mix asphalt (HMA) manufacturing, liquid asphalt cement distribution, site development including utility and drainage installation, and aggregate mining (sand, gravel, and construction stone) used as raw inputs for HMA production.
The company was incorporated in 2007 and is headquartered in Dothan, Alabama, having rebranded from SunTx CPI Growth Company, Inc. in September 2017.
