Libreros has joined Aggregate Industries after having worked within LafargeHolcim Group, in South America for the past six years. Most recently, he was CEO for the Group’s Costa Rica business. Prior to this he held various senior roles, including logistics director and supply chain director within the business’s Brazil division.

Innovation, sustainability and customer service have been a key factor in that. I believe that this role is an enabler for our company to reach that core position within the construction industry and transform our commercial approach, by driving customer growth and centricity. I look forward to working with Pablo to place Aggregate Industries at the heart of construction.”

Libreros added: “These are incredibly exciting times for Aggregate Industries. The company’s culture of research and innovation is what distinguishes us from the rest of the market, and I’m looking forward to driving the business forward into a new chapter of growth and innovation in the UK.”
