Holcim said the deal expands its aggregates and circular construction footprint in Australia and advances its NextGen Growth 2030 target of recycling more than 20m tonnes of construction demolition materials a year globally by 2030, supported by its ECOCycle technology.
“The acquisition of Burdett Group is an excellent fit with Holcim's NextGen Growth 2030 strategy's focus on investing in the most attractive markets.”
