About United States Lime & Minerals
United States Lime & Minerals is a domestic producer of lime and limestone, turning raw rock into materials that other industries depend on. Working from open-pit quarries and an underground mine, it converts limestone into pulverized stone, quicklime, hydrated lime, and lime slurry, supplying builders of roads and buildings along with manufacturers of paper and glass.
Its output also moves into environmental work, helping treat municipal waste, purify water, and clean flue gas, while reaching steel mills, oil and gas service firms, makers of roofing shingles, and farms that use lime in feed for poultry and cattle. Alongside this manufacturing base, the company collects royalty payments and holds non-operating working interests tied to natural gas wells in the Barnett Shale Formation of Johnson County, Texas.
Founded in 1950, United States Lime & Minerals is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and its stock trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker USLM.
