'''Southern Star Concrete, Inc.''' or simply '''Southern Star''' is a [[concrete]] supply business headquartered in [[Irving, Texas]]. Southern Star is owned by [[Cementos Argos S.A.]], the largest cement producer in [[Colombia]], [[South America]]. Cementos Argos is subsidiary of [[Inversiones Argos]], which in turn belongs to a larger conglomerate called [[Grupo Empresarial Antioqueño]] based in [[Medellín]], Colombia.

Argos acquired full ownership of Southern Star Concrete in November 2005 in a purchase agreement with the former owners, Texas Growth Fund and [[Austin Ventures]], both based in Austin, Texas.

In 2019, Southern Star sold their Arkansas assets to SRM Concrete, a privately-owned materials supply company based out of Nashville, Tennessee.

Then in 2021, Argos sold the Dallas/Fort Worth portion of Southern Star to SRM Concrete.

Argos currently only operates the Houston area Southern Star locations.
