- Holcim unlocks value with NextGen Growth 2030, via growth-focused capital allocation and value-accretive M&A
- Focused investment in most attractive markets from Latin America and Europe to Australia and North Africa
Advancing its leadership in sustainable construction with expansion of high-value Building Solutions to drive profitable growth
Holcim today completed its 100% spin-off of Amrize, the partner of choice for North America’s professional builders, through a dividend-in-kind distribution of one (1) Amrize share for every outstanding Holcim share owned as of the close of business on 20 June 2025.
As distinct, independent publicly traded companies, Holcim and Amrize should each benefit from a sharpened strategic and operational focus, with dedicated management teams to capitalize on the unique opportunities in their respective markets.
Miljan Gutovic, CEO: “This is an exciting moment for Holcim and Amrize as we begin a new chapter as independent companies. I thank all employees for contributing to the many remarkable achievements of Holcim including the exceptional execution of the spin-off. We wish Amrize success in the future under the leadership of its Chairman and CEO Jan Jenisch.
“As the leading partner for sustainable construction, Holcim will capitalize on the powerful megatrends shaping the future of construction to unlock significant growth opportunities and create superior value for people, customers and shareholders. Alongside our highly accomplished leadership team and 48,000 colleagues around the world, we are executing our strategy NextGen Growth 2030 as unveiled in March.”
With NextGen Growth 2030, Holcim will leverage its sustainability leadership to deliver profitable growth in Europe, Australia and North Africa, while accelerating growth in Latin America to benefit from strong market fundamentals and industrialization trends. Holcim will grow its addressable markets by expanding in high-value Building Solutions, serving customers across the built-environment, from energy efficient building systems to high-performance concrete. The growth strategy will drive shareholder value with growth-focused capital allocation and value-accretive M&A.
Shares of Amrize will commence trading under the ticker symbol “AMRZ” on the SIX Swiss Exchange at 9:00 a.m. CEST and on the New York Stock Exchange at 9:30 a.m. ET.
