Premier Aggregates welcomes John Todd as the new CEO

Todd brings deep operational experience as Premier continues to grow its reach in Idaho

BOISE, ID, UNITED STATES, April 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Premier Aggregates Holdings, LLC (“Premier” or the “Company”), a leading independent supplier of construction aggregates and landscape rock throughout southern Idaho, today announced the appointment of John P. Todd as Chief Executive Officer (CEO). To facilitate a smooth transition, Premier’s current CEO, Lane Buchert, and COO, Evan Buchert will serve as advisors to Todd through the end of the year. Both Bucherts will remain engaged with the Company as members of Premier’s board of directors and ownership group.

Todd brings more than three decades of experience in construction aggregates and mineral processing, with a proven track record of driving commercial growth and operational performance. Over the past five years, he served as President of Arcosa Specialty Materials, where he led an operating culture focused on engagement, accountability, and execution. During his tenure, the leadership team of Arcosa more than doubled profitability, delivering an increase in EBITDA of 2.5 times.

Prior to that, Todd served as Vice President of Operations at ACG Materials, which was acquired by Arcosa in 2018. He began his career as a process engineer at Holcim, one of the world’s largest aggregates and cement producers, where he held a range of senior operational and leadership roles over 25 years, including Vice President of Manufacturing for the Western U.S. region.

“When I founded Premier in 2011, I could not have imagined the growth the Company would achieve,” said Lane Buchert, Premier founder. “Serving as CEO alongside our team has been a privilege, and I am proud of what we have built together. With Premier well-positioned for its next phase of growth, this is the right time for a planned leadership transition. John brings the experience, leadership, and alignment with our core values needed to lead the Company forward.”

“I am excited to join Premier as the Company begins this next phase,” said Todd. “With extensive mineral resources in one of the fastest-growing regions in the country, Premier has built a strong foundation. I look forward to building on that momentum and further strengthening the Company’s capabilities and continuing to serve customers across Idaho and the broader region.”

“Following the successful integration of our merger with Ada Sand & Gravel, we are entering an important next stage for the Company,” said COO Evan Buchert. “John brings deep industry experience, strong operational discipline, and a clear commitment to safety. Lane and I will work closely with John over the coming months to ensure a smooth transition, and we look forward to continuing to support the Company as board members.”

“We are grateful to Lane and Evan for their leadership and contributions to the Company,” said Bob Dean and Brian Smith of Gemstone Capital, LLC. “We look forward to continuing to work with them as board members and owners, together with our partners at Greybull Stewardship, as we support John and the leadership team in executing the Company’s long-term growth strategy.”
