The Cand-Landi Group, which has consolidated net sales of CHF 70 million and employs 250 people, has a diverse range of businesses, including recycling and waste management, aggregates, and ready-mix.

By acquiring Cand-Landi, Holcim will accelerate the decarbonization of its Eclépens plant by gaining access to new sources of alternative raw materials and alternative fuels.

Additionally, the acquisition will increase Holcim's annual recycling of construction demolition materials by 100,000 tons.

The acquisition of the Cand-Landi Group will advance decarbonization and circularity in Switzerland, a lighthouse market for innovation at Holcim. I look forward to welcoming all 250 employees of the Cand-Landi Group and investing in our next chapter of growth together.

Miljan Gutovic, CEO of Holcim

The Cand-Landi Group has been a leader in recycling in French-speaking Switzerland for 128 years and has a successful partnership with Holcim.

With its high-value-add railway logistics services and network, Cand-Landi will diversify Holcim's business while also contributing to the company's goal of decarbonizing its own operations.

The acquisition will provide customers with even more comprehensive solutions in construction, logistics, and the circular economy.
