Holcim Completes North American Spin-off
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 Amrize share for every outstanding Holcim share owned as of the close of business on 20 June 2025.
The Ravena Holcim plant will now operated under the Amrize operations.
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.
As an independent public company, Amrize will be North America’s leading building solutions company from foundation to rooftop. Amrize originates from two concepts: "ambition" and "rising".
"Am" represents the future company's commitment to high-performance and innovation to meet its customers' greatest ambitions. "Rize" symbolizes the company's drive to lead construction forward across North America to shape the essential buildings and infrastructure that advance how people live.
"Though our name and look are changing, our longstanding commitment to the community remains the same. We are proud to be the largest employer and largest property taxpayer in Southern Albany County," said Plant Manager David Mac Lauchlin.
"We will continue to strive to be a good neighbor, actively engaging with residents and elected officials and supporting events, organizations, services, and programs that improve and enrich our collective quality of life," he added. "As you know, the Ravena plant has been a member of this Ravena-Coeymans community for more than six decades as a legacy business leader. The plant celebrated our 60th anniversary just this past year. We have played a vital role in developing the very foundation of this community’s everyday lives."
With an enhanced global network and a strong focus on sustainability, the plant will continue to deliver the unmatched quality of products that partners and customers both expect and deserve.
