ATLANTA, January 12, 2021 – Oldcastle APG has broadened its manufacturing footprint with the acquisition of CST, a leading regional manufacturer of lawn and garden products, including bagged and bulk mulches and soils.
Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Elk River, Minnesota, CST supplies lawn and garden products to retail and independent customers throughout the midwestern United States. As a co-packing partner, CST’s product offerings fit seamlessly into APG’s existing product portfolio, strengthening manufacturing capabilities and improving regional product availability.

The acquisition was finalized in late December 2020 and follows several recent strategic purchases by Oldcastle APG, including midwestern mulch and soil manufacturers B&B Bedding and Buckeye Resources.
