The company operates in more than 70 countries; its international subsidiaries include Holcim (US), St. Lawrence Cement in Canada, Aggregate Industries in the UK, and Holcim Apasco in Mexico. Although geographically diverse, Holcim sticks to the basics when it comes to products: cement, clinker, concrete, aggregates, and lime.

Competition

Competitive Landscape for Holcim Ltd.
Demand is determined by construction rates for public infrastructure, as well as for housing and nonresidential buildings. The profitability of individual companies is strongly dependent on efficient operations, as products are commodities and companies compete chiefly on price. Large companies enjoy economies of scale in purchasing and the ability to invest in technologies that improve efficiency. Small manufacturers can compete through superior customer service and by serving small or rural markets. To read the full description, subscribe now.
