    Acquisition expands offering in construction and recycling

    Holcim acquires Cand-Landi Holding in western Switzerland. The company, which has been family-owned for 128 years, has consolidated net sales of CHF 70 million and is active in various areas: from recycling and waste management to aggregates and ready-mix concrete.

    According to a Holcim press release, the acquisition will open up new sources of alternative raw materials and fuels for Holcim and thus accelerate decarbonisation at the Holcim plant in Eclépens VD. In addition, the acquisition will enable Holcim to increase the transformation of construction waste into new construction solutions by 100,000 tonnes per year.

    Following a long-standing partnership between the two companies, Holcim intends to offer its customers an even more comprehensive range of construction, logistics and recycling services through this acquisition. The “high value-added” services in rail logistics and the Cand-Landi Group’s network will contribute to the diversification of Holcim’s business.

    “The acquisition of the Cand-Landi Group will drive decarbonisation and the circular economy in Switzerland, a beacon market for innovation at Holcim,” summarises Holcim CEO Miljan Gutovic. “I look forward to welcoming all 250 employees of the Cand-Landi Group and investing together in our next chapter of growth.”

  • New player in the UK recycling market

    New player in the UK recycling market

    Holcim is acquiring the ballast recycling company Land Recovery, based in the British county of Cheshire. With its 85 employees, it uses railway ballast and demolition material for the production of ready-mix concrete, precast elements and asphalt.

    According to a press release, this acquisition expands Holcim’s access to construction waste. Land Recovery processed 300,000 tonnes of this material last year.

    “Land Recovery strengthens Holcim’s leading position in circular construction,” Holcim CEO Miljan Gutovic is quoted as saying. “This brings us closer to our Group target of recycling 10 million tonnes of construction waste in 2024.”

    Land Recovery was founded in 1982 by the Beecroft family. With four sites in the UK, the company’s services include the supply of primary ballast for rail transport, the handling and processing of spent ballast and its recycling into new construction solutions.

    The transaction follows Holcim’s acquisition last year of Sivyer Logistics, a manufacturer of recycled demolition materials for the London construction market.
