United States Lime & Minerals, Inc. (NASDAQ: USLM) is a Dallas-based producer of lime and limestone products, extracting raw material from open-pit quarries and an underground mine for processing into pulverized limestone, quicklime, hydrated lime, and lime slurry. The company serves a diversified customer base across construction (highway, road, and building contractors), industrial manufacturing (paper, glass, steel), environmental services (water and flue gas treatment), oil and gas services, roof shingle production, and poultry production. In addition to its core lime operations, the company holds royalty interests in natural gas wells in the Barnett Shale Formation in Johnson County, Texas, providing a non-operating source of revenue tied to oil and gas production. Founded in 1950 and listed since 1990, USLM operates as a subsidiary of Inberdon Enterprises Ltd.
As a member of the Materials sector, USLM is positioned in the Construction Materials sub-industry, where demand is closely linked to infrastructure spending, commercial construction activity, and environmental regulatory requirements that drive consumption of lime in emissions control and water treatment. Lime is a relatively commodity-like product, and producers in this space typically compete on logistics, proximity to reserves, and the ability to serve bulk industrial customers with consistent supply.
- Federal infrastructure spending lifts highway lime volumes
- Oilfield services activity drives lime slurry demand
- Natural gas and coal costs pressure kiln operating margins
