About the company
Company website•Building Materials
At AG, we believe great places are shaped in the space in between.
Since 1960, we’ve been crafting concrete paving, walling and brick products that help people shape environments that last. Still family-owned and built on generations of expertise, we combine heritage with forward thinking, bringing together craftsmanship, innovation and a deep understanding of the materials beneath our feet.
From our Tyrone limestone roots to projects across the UK and Ireland, we work alongside housebuilders, contractors, architects and homeowners to create spaces that connect people and place. Whether delivering large-scale commercial solutions or helping transform everyday outdoor environments, our focus is always the same: quality you can trust and spaces that feel considered.
We’re driven by progress as much as legacy. That means continually advancing our products, investing in lower-carbon solutions and designing with sustainability in mind from responsible sourcing to smarter water management and long-life performance.
Built on brilliance, we’re proud to shape the spaces that bring people together.
