Granite Announced as Sole California Distributor of EZ STREET Asphalt

WATSONVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Granite (NYSE:GVA) announced today that it is now the sole California distributer of EZ STREET® Asphalt, a premium, cold asphalt. EZ STREET represents the next generation of innovation in ambient asphalt technology and has the potential to reduce carbon emissions. Granite also distributes EZ STREET in Arizona, Nevada, and Utah.

EZ STREET is a polymer modified cold asphalt guaranteed to permanently repair potholes, utility cuts, overlays and edge repairs in asphalt or concrete. This addition to Granite’s product line will also assist the company in meeting sustainability goals. For example, EZ STREET’s new “bioblends” mixture uses green fuel substitutes in place of fossil fuels and incorporates other recycled materials. Therefore, distributing this new mix will help Granite meet its environmental goals while helping clients meet their own sustainability and carbon targets one pothole at a time.

Their people move with a sense of purpose and urgency, and quite frankly, that’s why we are with them.
