Aggregate Industries UK, trading as Bardon Aggregates, has over 50 asphalt plants located across England and Scotland forming a solid supply network to the main areas of population. Of the units, several are branded as Express Asphalt and are primarily situated in urban locations to improve customer service.

Expansion of the company's asphalt operations continues in key market areas with the acquisitions of Granville-Steel and Kennedy Asphalt.

The majority of the asphalt produced is consumed in major construction and building projects such as roads and other infrastructure projects, however a growing trade is with localised contractors involved in small scale projects who prefer to collect their material direct from company plants. Demand is also growing for specialist materials that are designed for specific end uses such as sports surfaces, decorative areas, industrial and commercial parking areas.

Bardon Aggregates has invested heavily into the research and development of such products and has developed innovative new lines such as cold-mix materials, coloured asphalt and low-noise road surfaces.
