Acquisition expected to close in April 2026
NASHVILLE, TN – Rogers Group, Inc. (RGI), one of the nation’s largest privately owned construction aggregates and roadbuilding companies, announced today that Rockydale Quarries Corporation (RQC) and its subsidiaries, including B&S Contracting, Inc., has agreed to be acquired by RGI. The companies anticipate the transaction will close April 10, 2026, pending customary documentation, due diligence and closing conditions.
Founded in 1932 and headquartered in Roanoke, Virginia, Rockydale Quarries Corporation has built a strong reputation for highquality aggregates, environmental stewardship, and a deep commitment to the communities it serves. Over nearly a century, the company has grown into an influential regional producer with multiple strategic quarry locations and asphalt construction across Virginia; a legacy shaped by the Willis family’s leadership and dedication to safety and service.
This acquisition marks the 13th company Rogers Group has welcomed into its operations over the past two years, reinforcing the organization’s longterm growth strategy and continued commitment to serving communities. Rockydale Quarries and B&S Contracting’s 170 employees will join Rogers Group’s workforce of more than 3,400 employees, expanding RGI’s operational footprint to 13 states.
Strong Cultural Alignment in Safety and Values
A key factor in the acquisition is the exceptional compatibility between the two companies’ values, especially their shared focus on safety. Rockydale’s longstanding performance record aligns with Rogers Group’s “Zero Injury Safety Culture Without Compromise,” an operating philosophy that emphasizes employee wellbeing above all else.
“This is a milestone moment for Rockydale,” said Ken Randolph, President & CEO of Rockydale Quarries Corporation. “The owners of Rockydale are proud of our long history and the company we’ve built. Rogers Group provides the best opportunity for us to continue growing while ensuring our employees have every chance to reach their full potential.”
Commitment to Growth and Long-Term Strength
Rogers Group leaders emphasized that the acquisition reinforces the company’s continuous pursuit of operational excellence, geographic expansion, and highquality service.
“Rogers Group is continually evaluating opportunities to expand,” said Jimmy Patton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rogers Group, Inc. “Rockydale is a great fit—both culturally and strategically. We are honored to build on the Willis family’s legacy and combine resources and people in a way that makes Rogers Group even stronger.”
Upon closing, Rockydale’s ten locations including B&S Contracting will be integrated into RGI’s Carolinas and Virginia Strategic Market Area under the leadership of Daniel Littell, Vice President and Strategic Market Area Manager. Littell will oversee the alignment of business processes, safety programs, and operational strategies to ensure a smooth transition for employees, customers, and community partners. The current Rockydale management team will continue to lead day-to-day operations reporting to Daniel.
Strengthening Service Across the Region
The acquisition will create new synergies between Rockydale’s established customer relationships and RGI’s extensive network of quarries, asphalt plants, and construction services. The combined operations will enhance supply reliability, improve regional service responsiveness, and support longterm infrastructure development across Virginia and surrounding states.
Dan Lechleiter, Vice President of Business Development for Rogers Group, added: “We look for companies that share our vision and values—safety, quality, integrity, and a commitment to community. Rockydale exemplifies all of these, and we’re excited to welcome them into the Rogers Group family.”
