Lafarge in M&A rumors

Well, Lafarge may be ready to fire the first salvo in its rumored buying binge. Reports out of Kansas are predicting that Lafarge will buy Ritchie Sand and other companies under the Ritchie umbrella, including Ritchie Paving, Application Systems Technology, R-Con Corp., ICF Solutions and C&D Recyclers. The Ritchie name has been associated with the Wichita, KS, area for more than 150 years. No one is commenting for the record. Your comment?
