Collace Quarry Manufacturing "a range of asphalt mixes". 

So, they're basically like a chef in a kitchen, whipping up different asphalt mixes like it's nobody's business. And get this, they even follow the EN standards! They've got it all - hot rolled asphalts, asphalt concretes, stone mastic asphalts, pre coated chips, and even cold mix for base/binders. It's like a fancy asphalt buffet, all up to code and ready to go. Who knew asphalt could be so gourmet?
