In almost a century, Holcim has grown from humble beginnings in
a wiss village tobecome one of the world9s leading construction
materials companies.
2owadays, Holcim is about to sign a merge agreement with Lafarge
and another with
eme1. )he agreement with Lafarge will lead to the creation of
the biggest companyof cement around the world * LA7A4GEH/LI+. As a
result of the agreement with
eme1, probably, Holcim will change some assets in pain for some
eme1 assets in
Germany. I am sure, Holcim will lead the cement manufacturing
sector for a long time
with this two new agreements.
