Switzerland: Holcim has acquired recycling, ready-mix concrete and aggregates company Cand-Landi Group. The company employs 250 people across its operations in Western Switzerland. Holcim plans for Cand-Landi Group to supply alternative raw materials and fuels for use at its Eclépens plant. It says that the acquisition will increase its recycling capacity of construction and demolition materials by 100,000t/yr.

Holcim CEO Miljan Gutovic said "The acquisition of the Cand-Landi Group will advance decarbonisation and circularity in Switzerland, a lighthouse market for innovation at Holcim. I look forward to welcoming all 250 employees of the Cand-Landi Group and investing in our next chapter of growth together."

Switzerland: After 128 years as a family-operated business in Grandson, Vaud, Cand-Landi will become a subsidiary of Holcim Group. This acquisition marks an expansion for Holcim in the areas of aggregate and concrete production, as well as landfill management.

The terms of the transaction, including the financial details, have not been disclosed. However, the Cand-Landi name will be kept after the acquisition.
