One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Frequently asked questions
Experts in Building Materials
Holcim Ltd. is a Switzerland-based multinational company specializing in the production and supply of building materials. Established in 1912, the company's core offerings include cement, aggregates, ready-mix concrete, and other related products. Over its extensive history, Holcim has expanded its operations and now has a presence in over 70 countries worldwide. As the construction sector has seen various changes and advancements, Holcim has adapted its products and services to cater to both modern construction and sustainability requirements and has an emphasis on sustainability.
Growth From a Local Cement Producer
Founded in 1912 in the small town of Holderbank, Switzerland, Holcim Ltd. began as a local cement producer. Over the subsequent decades, its commitment to quality and innovation allowed it to expand beyond its Swiss borders, and by the mid-20th century, the company had established operations in multiple countries across Europe. Holcim's continuous expansion strategy, both organically and through strategic acquisitions, propelled it onto the global stage. In the 21st century, the company's growth was marked by mergers and partnerships, notably with Lafarge in 2015. As environmental concerns became prominent, Holcim adapted by focusing on sustainable building solutions and practices, something that has become a key focal point for the company.
Building Blocks
The company is a supplier of construction materials, specializing in cement, aggregates (such as gravel, crushed stone, and sand), ready-mix concrete, and asphalt. These products form the backbone of countless construction projects around the world. Holcim's cement varieties, for instance, are key ingredients in both residential and commercial buildings, infrastructure like bridges and roads, as well as in special applications requiring high resilience, such as dams. Their aggregates provide foundational stability for construction, while the ready-mix concrete is used in a myriad of structures, from sidewalks to skyscrapers. They compete with companies such as Heidelberg and CRH, but they also conduct joint projects with names such as Engie in various sustainability drives.
Building Sustainably
Holcim places a pronounced emphasis on sustainability, striving to integrate eco-friendly practices across its operations. Recognizing the construction sector's substantial carbon footprint, the company commits to reducing CO2 emissions and harnessing innovative technologies to produce low-carbon and carbon-neutral products. Holcim also invests in circular economy strategies, focusing on recycling and reusing materials to minimize waste.
