PROFILE |
 |
As one of the world's largest cement producers, Holcim (formerly "Holderbank" Financiere Glaris), is always ready to mix it up with rivals Lafarge and Cemex. Holcim makes cement (60% of sales), concrete, aggregates (gravel, sand, and crushed stone used to increase the volume and strength of concrete), admixtures (used to add various qualities to ready-mixed concrete and concrete structures), and lime. It also offers engineering, research, consulting, trading, and management services. Holcim and its affiliates operate in about 70 countries in Europe, North America (through subsidiaries Holnam and St. Lawrence Cement), South America, and Asia. The Schmidheiny family has controlled the company since the early 1900s.
