Words: Dan KamysOldcastle Architecture Acquires Expocrete, Harmony

Oldcastle Architectural has acquired Expocrete Concrete Products Ltd., giving the company an increased presence in the high-growth region of Western Canada. The company also has acquired Harmony Outdoor Products Inc., expanding the Belgard Hardscapes collection to include a full suite of pre-built modular hardscape elements for every outdoor living setting.

Expocrete manufactures a diverse range of concrete hardscape, masonry and precast products that meet high standards in quality, safety and sustainability. The company operates seven manufacturing facilities in the Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Saskatoon and Winnipeg markets. Headquartered in Edmonton, Expocrete will continue to be led by President David Johnson.


Oldcastle first partnered with Harmony Outdoor Products four years ago to offer contractors the option of the Belgard Elements Collection of modular fire features, water features, grill stations and kitchen islands; the pre-built structures integrate with Belgard Hardscapes paver and wall block for a seamless look and unparalleled design detail of outdoor spaces.

With this acquisition, Oldcastle will be able to expand Elements Collection design offerings and increase accessibility through Belgard’s broad geographic reach. Oldcastle has a comprehensive network of Belgard Authorized Dealers and Belgard Authorized Contractors throughout North America, ensuring homeowners’ access to a wide range of Belgard pavers, wall block and modular features.
