LafargeHolcim considering options in Middle East and Africa

Switzerland: LafargeHolcim is considering options, including divestments, for its businesses in the Middle East and Africa. Unnamed sources quoted by Bloomberg say that the company has held early talks with advisors about selling assets and it is also looking at an initial public offering (IPO). If it decides to sell its entire business in this region it may seek up to US$8bn. However, the sources thought that finding a buyer at this scale might prove difficult given market conditions. In 2018 the building materials producer operated 44 integrated and cement grinding plants in the region, 30 aggregates plants and 212 ready-mix concrete plants. LafargeHolcim has declined to comment on the report.
