HeidelbergCement operates in 23 countries in Group area Europe. The integration of Hanson is reflected in the expansion of the aggregates and ready-mixed concrete operating lines in Germany, the Benelux countries and the Czech Republic. The United Kingdom has become considerably more important; it is now the second largest market region in the Group. As a fully integrated building materials company, we manufacture cement, aggregates, asphalt, ready-mixed concrete and various building products there. New countries are Israel and Spain. In most of the Group’s European countries, HeidelbergCement is the market leader in the cement business.
