SOUTH JORDAN — Headwaters Inc. on Wednesday said it has closed on its acquisition of certain assets of Southwest Concrete Products LP, a concrete block manufacturer based in south Texas.

The transaction totaled about $36 million, consisting of cash and the assumption of approximately $10 million in industrial revenue bonds. Headwaters also agreed to pay an earn-out to the sellers if the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of the acquired operations exceeds the current EBITDA for 2005.

Southwest Concrete had revenues of $31 million and EBITDA margins of approximately 16 percent for 2003.
