Upon the execution of a planned spin-off, Holcim’s North American business will be named Amrize. As an independent public company, it will be North America’s leading building solutions company from foundation to rooftop.
“Introducing the Amrize name marks an important step as we prepare Holcim’s North American business to become an independent public company,” said Holcim Chairman Jan Jenisch, who plans to transition from his post to Amrize chairman and chief executive officer. “This is an exciting time for construction in North America, with the ongoing modernization of infrastructure, the reshoring of manufacturing, and the opportunity to bridge the housing gap with the most advanced building solutions. We aim to be the partner of choice for our North American customers and unlock value for all our stakeholders.”
Amrize originates from two concepts: “ambition” and “rising”. “Am” represents the future company’s commitment to high-performance and innovation to meet its customers’ greatest ambitions. “Rize” symbolizes a drive to lead construction forward across North America to shape the essential buildings and infrastructure that advance how people live.
The Amrize name and branding will go into effect with the completion of the spin-off, expected by the end of the first half 2025, subject to shareholder and customary approvals. Until then, the North American business continues to operate as part of Holcim.
