Summary

Heidelberg Materials operates in more than 50 countries across Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, Africa, and the Middle East. The group manages hundreds of production sites, including cement plants, quarries, and concrete facilities, and employs tens of thousands of people globally. Its scale gives the company a significant role in shaping emissions pathways within the construction and materials sector. The company rebranded from HeidelbergCement to Heidelberg Materials in 2022, reflecting a strategic shift toward sustainability, circularity, and digitalisation. The name change was intended to signal a broader materials focus beyond traditional cement and a stronger emphasis on climate-aligned products.
