News Lafarge to cut 380 jobs ahead of merger with Holcim

Lafarge to cut 380 jobs ahead of merger with Holcim

France: Lafarge has proposed to cut 380 jobs as part of its pre-merger preparations ahead of its merger with Holcim to form LafaregHolcim. The new group, set to be the world's largest building materials group, will employ approximately 115,000 people.

The organisation of the new group will be balanced between a decentralised structure and strong central functions based on three organizational levels: Countries; Regions (Europe, North America, Middle East & Africa, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and; Corporate functions, which will help define the Group's key strategies.

There will be an equivalent number of personnel in the central functions in France and Switzerland. The new group's research and development centre will be located in France.

Concerning Lafarge at worldwide level (i.e., in sites located in Atlanta (USA), Beijing (China), Cairo (Egypt), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Lyon (France), Montreal (Canada), Paris (France) and Vienna (Austria)), the proposed new organisation of central functions will result in approximately 380 net job losses, with 166 of these in Paris and Lyon.

The social support measures that will be negotiated with employee representatives will mostly consist of solutions based on internal mobility, early retirement and (in France) voluntary departures. The proposed merger will not affect employment in Lafarge's operational functions in France, which employ more than 4500 people.

This procedure is a key phase in the preparation of the creation of the new LafargeHolcim Group. The completion of the proposed merger is expected to occur in July 2015. Before this can happen, the public exchange offer will have to be successful, with shareholders tendering at least two-thirds of Lafarge shares.
