Holcim Ltd. Company Profile
What do you use to build a modern colossus? Cement, of course. Holcim is one of the world's largest cement makers (#3 after CEMEX and Lafarge) with an annual production capacity of approximately 200 million tons. The company boasts facilities in more than 70 countries, including subsidiaries Holcim (US), St. Lawrence Cement (Canada), Aggregate Industries (UK), and Holcim Apasco in Mexico. Although geographically diverse, Holcim sticks to the basics when it comes to products: cement and clinker, concrete, aggregates, and lime. The company also offers research, trading, consulting, and management services.
