Russia: Eurocement has publically supported the merger between Lafarge and Holcim. In a statement the Russian producer and minority shareholder in Holcim said that it found the development potential of the merged company 'very positive'.
In late March 2015 Eurocement announced that it planned to vote against the LafargeHolcim merger unless the financial terms of the deal were altered. Subsequently in mid-April 2015, it then proposed its chairman Filaret Galchev to the board of directors of LafargeHoclim but Holcim said the proposal was submitted too late to be considered. Eurocement owns a 10.82% stake in Holcim.
