Ukraine: CRH has invested €465m in Ukraine since entering the country in 1999, €74.5m of it since the start of Russia’s invasion in February 2022. CRH Central and Eastern Europe president Guillaume Cavalier noted the double role of locally-produced cement in generating employment and state revenues.
Cavalier said "Investing in the expansion of production now is crucial to ensure the potential growth of the Ukrainian cement market following its integration into the EU."
