Investors visit UK super-quarry on Capital Markets Day - and you can too on our virtual tour

 

Bardon Hill quarry serves as the headquarters of Aggregate Industries and is one of five "super-quarries" we own in the UK. On Capital Markets Day, participants from the financial community get the chance to take an on-site tour led by CEO Jan Jenisch, and the management of LafargeHolcim.

 

Bardon Hill Quarry has been run by Aggregate Industries for more than 100 years. Such assets are a core part of how LafargeHolcim contributes to major building and infrastructure projects across the country. Every year, in addition to selling 31 million tonnes of aggregates, Aggregate Industries sells 2.3 million tonnes of cement and 2.7 million cubic meters of ready-mix concrete.

Capital Markets Day 2018 includes a field trip to Bardon Hill. Find out more in the press release
