A global Group with Swiss roots
We are a leading global supplier of cement,
aggregates (crushed stone, gravel and sand) as
well as ready-mix concrete and asphalt including
related services. Our company was founded in
1912, in connection with the construction of
a cement plant in Holderbank, Switzerland.
As early as the1920s, Holcim began to invest
selectively in Europe, and then overseas. The
company has been listed on the SWX Swiss
Exchange since 1958. Today, the Group operates
in more than 70 countries across all continents
and employs a workforce of some 90,000.
