Hoover's coverage by Diane Ramirez

Overview

What do you use to build a modern colossus? Cement, of course. Holcim is one of the world's largest cement makers (along with CEMEX and Lafarge) with an annual production capacity of approximately 200 million tons. The company operates in some 70 countries around the world; its international subsidiaries include Holcim (US), St. Lawrence Cement in Canada, Aggregate Industries in the UK, Holcim (Australia), and Holcim Apasco in Mexico. Although geographically diverse, Holcim sticks to the basics when it comes to products: cement, clinker, concrete, aggregates, and lime. The company also offers research, import/export trading, consulting, and management services for the construction industry.
