Holcim signed an agreement with Northern Poland-based Ol-Trans to acquire its five concrete plants

With 2022 estimated net sales of CHF 27 million (Є27.28mn), the transaction will strengthen Holcim’s local ready-mix concrete network and firmly establish it as the leader in Northern Poland.

This transaction will also increase Holcim’s sales of ECOPact green concrete which comes with up to 50% lower carbon footprint in Poland. Customers will also benefit from improved access to sustainable solutions like Agila Fibro, a self-compacting concrete that reduces the use of steel reinforcement by 40%-50%.

Miljan Gutovic, Region Head Europe Middle East Africa, said: “With this acquisition, we will further expand the footprint of ECOPact green concrete, the first and most comprehensive sustainable concrete range in Poland.

Ol-Trans has been a long-standing Holcim partner as well as a growing and highly successful business. I offer a warm welcome to Ol-Trans employees into the Holcim family and look forward to unleashing our next era of growth together.”

Ol-Trans was founded in 1990. In addition to producing and selling concrete, the company also supported road construction, demolition and logistics services. The acquisition aligns with Holcim’s aim to drive profitable growth with innovative building solutions, from ECOPact green concrete to energy-efficient roofing systems. The transaction is expected to close in the Q4 of 2022.
