Capacity expansion

Holcim currently has 28.9 million tonnes of committed and approved cement expansion projects. In 2007, Holcim commissioned Group-wide 6.7 million tonnes of capacity, 4.6 million of that in India alone. By the end of 2011, it is estimated that plant expansions and construction of new facilities will have increased Group cement capacity to around 227 million tonnes, thus creating a strong foundation for future growth. All facilities meet the highest technological standards in terms of costs and environmental efficiency. New capacities are usually built in existing plant locations, where the Group companies have robust market positions and secure raw material reserves.

As a result of expanding production (see table below) in the amount of CHF 6.5 billion, Holcim expects an annual EBITDA contribution of around CHF 1.1 billion as of 2012; CHF 550 million per year already from 2010.

The Group is also investing in the areas of aggregates and ready-mix concrete. Projects and acquisitions are concentrated on Europe and North America, and for ready-mix concrete in the major urban centers in Latin America, Africa and Asia.
