United States Lime & Minerals, Inc. (NASDAQ: USLM) is a Dallas-based producer of lime and limestone products, operating open-pit quarries and an underground mine to manufacture pulverized limestone, quicklime, hydrated lime, and lime slurry. The company serves a diverse customer base across construction (highway, road, and building contractors), industrial sectors (paper and glass manufacturers), environmental applications (municipal water treatment and flue gas treatment), oil and gas services, roof shingle manufacturing, poultry production, and steelmaking. In addition to its core lime business, USLM holds royalty interests in natural gas wells in the Barnett Shale Formation in Johnson County, Texas, providing a secondary revenue stream tied to oil and gas production. Founded in 1950, the company operates as a subsidiary of Inberdon Enterprises Ltd. and is classified within the Materials sector, specifically the Construction Materials sub-industry.
The lime production industry is vertically integrated, with producers controlling extraction, calcination (heating limestone to produce quicklime), and hydration processes. Lime is an essential industrial input used as a flux in steelmaking, a neutralizing agent in environmental applications such as flue gas desulfurization, and a key chemical in water and wastewater treatment, which supports relatively stable demand across economic cycles.
- Infrastructure spending boosts highway and road construction lime demand
- Oil and gas services demand drives frac lime volumes
- Environmental regulations expand flue gas treatment lime requirements
