Europe: Holcim has completed the acquisitions of Thames Materials in London and of a majority stake in A&S Recycling in Hanover, and agreed to acquire a third demolition materials recycler in France. The three firms have a combined processing capacity of around 1.3Mt/yr. The acquisitions will support Holcim’s NextGen Growth 2030 target of recycling over 20Mt/yr of construction demolition materials and scale up its ECOCycle circular construction technology.
With Thames Materials, Holcim can now provide circular services across Greater London. The three A&S Recycling sites in Hanover raise Holcim’s German recycling hubs to 10, and the upcoming acquisition in Northwest France will increase Holcim’s French recycling centres to 28.
