Aggregate Industries has rebranded to Holcim UK as part of a strategic shift to provide the highways sector with seamless access to the latest sustainable building solutions.
With over 200 sites and 4000 employees across the UK, the organisation’s 25 brands* are uniting under Holcim UK to drive this growth. Building on trusted partnerships, the move is also set to provide customers with access to more seamless, enhanced services and sustainable solutions.
Holcim UK’s strategic focus centres around leading the mission to make sustainable construction a reality, focusing on decarbonisation, nature, circularity and innovation. Its aim is to achieve this through both its commitment to reducing its own impact on communities and the planet, in addition to driving positive change for the industry and customers through its expert teams and sustainable solutions.
The consolidation comes as the highways sector faces the challenge of reducing emissions produced by the maintenance and construction of highways, aligned with National Highways’ target of producing associated Net Zero emissions by 2040.
Alongside a target to accelerate green growth, Holcim UK is committed to expanding the uptake of sustainable building materials in the UK. Currently a third of its turnover comes from sustainable products and it is aiming to continue to increase this in the next five years.
Key to this will be circular product innovation through construction demolition materials (CDM), targeting an increase of CDM used in products from 2m tonnes to more than 5m tonnes by 2030.
