Bridgeview, IL—In a historic moment for the paving industry, Rose Paving (“Rose”) announced it has merged with Atlantic Southern Paving (“ASP”) to create one of the largest self-performing paving companies in the United States. Rose Paving and ASP combine complementary geographic footprints and together create an expansive nationwide network with an unrivaled reach. The businesses are known for consistent, long-standing relationships while offering both national and regional expertise, and the combination will ensure new standards of quality and service in the paving industry.

Both companies have been built through an unwavering commitment to servicing clients, with customers trusting Rose Paving for over 50 years and ASP for more than 30 years. Over the last decade, each company has expanded through steady and deliberate organic growth as well as key acquisitions. This partnership now unites over 1,000 employees across 34 offices nationwide.

“We’re thrilled to join forces with the ASP team,” said Jaron Srain, President of Rose Paving. “Our geographic footprints complement each other, and our partnership will boost efficiencies and double our coverage to better serve our clients. The merger uniquely positions us to offer best-in-class paving solutions and superior service for years to come.”

This alliance brings together two of the most trusted names in paving, companies with shared values and a commitment to delivering outstanding customer service and quality work. The merger strengthens our national capabilities and leverages deep regional expertise to serve clients better.

Mike Curry Jr., CEO of ASP, expressed his excitement about the merger, stating, “This is a huge moment not only for the company that my family and team have built but for the entire paving industry.
