Carbon Capture Growth The company's involvement in a $3.7 million DOE funded FEED study to retrofit carbon capture technology at a cement plant signals a strong decarbonization trajectory. This creates demand for industrial IT and systems integration to support carbon capture, energy optimization, and process automation. Opportunities exist to offer Rockwell Automation-driven SCADA/controls integration, ERP and MES tie-ins, data analytics, and project engineering services to cement sites adopting decarbonization tech.

Manufacturing IT Modernization Current technology stack includes Rockwell Automation, RSView, SAP Sales, REST, PHP and Adobe Creative Suite, indicating readiness for manufacturing IT modernization. Target opportunities include MES/SCADA modernization, IIoT data collection, predictive maintenance, ERP-CRM integration, cybersecurity hardening, and cloud-enabled analytics to improve asset utilization and reduce downtime.

Post-Merger Integration Recent acquisitions such as JEV Recycling and Meriwether Ready Mix show growth via M&A, implying ongoing IT integration needs. Post-merger projects typically require data migration, application rationalization, unified ERP/CRM systems, robust cybersecurity, and change management support to realize synergies and accelerate ROI.

Sustainability Compliance Regulatory and sustainability pressures are evident through DOE funding for decarbonization efforts. This creates demand for emissions monitoring, energy optimization, carbon accounting, reporting compliance, and integration with enterprise systems to support ESG disclosures and cost savings.

Regional US Expansion US-based operations and regional market presence, with mid-size employee base, offer opportunities to expand IT services to cement and recycling facilities across the United States. Local incentives and government programs around energy and carbon management can be leveraged, while offering managed services, IT support, and site-level automation modernization to drive reliability and efficiency.
