Statement by Christophe Clemente, CEO of Xella Group

 

Becoming part of Holcim would mark a historic step for Xella. It would create new momentum for the company’s growth and be good news for Xella’s customers.

 

This combination would bring together Holcim’s international presence with Xella’s leading brands, technical know-how, and entrepreneurial mindset, forming a strong foundation to drive the transition towards more resilient and efficient construction.

 

What would truly set this partnership apart is the strong cultural and strategic fit. A shared commitment to sustainability, innovation, and people would strengthen Xella’s competitiveness and open new opportunities for employees, customers, and partners, ensuring that Xella could continue to grow and thrive within Holcim’s global Building Solutions platform.

 

At the same time, Xella’s well-known brands Ytong, Hebel, and Multipor would benefit from wider market access, shared innovation, and complementary solutions. Together, the companies would broaden their reach and offer integrated, high-performance building systems that make construction more efficient and affordable across Europe and beyond.
