Construction Partners Expands Texas Footprint with J.H. Strain Buy

The acquisition bolsters CPI’s presence in West Texas, a region currently seeing a surge in development, including significant data center projects. By absorbing the J.H. Strain operations, CPI gains immediate access to established equipment and paving crews, allowing the company to scale its infrastructure services for both public and private sector clients in the area.

President and CEO Fred J. Smith, III noted that the move is designed to leverage the region's diversified economy. Ross and Kent Strain will join the CPI organization, with their local expertise serving as a foundation for the company’s continued growth strategy throughout the Sunbelt. This transaction highlights CPI’s ongoing push to consolidate local roadwork markets through its vertically integrated model.
