Holcim

Holcim is a well-known Swiss-based global building materials and aggregates company, which has a long history of growth and expansion. The company was founded in 1912, and by the 1920s, it had expanded into France, Europe, and the Middle East. During the 1950s, Holcim expanded into the Americas and became a public company in 1958.

Holcim continued its growth by expanding its operations in Latin America and adding Asian divisions during the 1970s and 1980s. As a result of a series of mergers and buyouts, Holcim became one of the two largest cement manufacturers in the world by 2014, along with its rival Lafarge. In April 2014, Holcim and Lafarge agreed to a US$60 billion "merger of equals" to create LafargeHolcim.

After the merger was completed, the Holcim brand was retained within the group. In 2021, LafargeHolcim was renamed to Holcim Group. The company has a strong presence in the global cement production market, particularly in Australia, Azerbaijan, India, Slovakia, Switzerland, and Latin America.

As a leading provider of building materials and aggregates, Holcim Group is dedicated to sustainability and innovative technologies to meet the needs of its customers. The company's mission is to create value for its stakeholders, including shareholders, customers, employees, and communities, while contributing to sustainable development.
