Investment in low carbon cement in Czech Republic
According to a report by Reuters dated September 3, 2026, Holcim has launched a new calcined clay production line at its plant in Cizkovice in the Czech Republic as part of its strategy to expand low carbon cement production.
The same report states that Holcim is spending 40 million Swiss francs on the Cizkovice calcined clay line, which it describes as the company’s largest ever investment in its Czech business and as a key step in reducing cement’s carbon footprint by about 30 percent at the site.
Strong first half 2026 and upgraded guidance
Holcim’s latest financial framework for investors is anchored by strong half year results for the six months ended June 30, 2026, with the company highlighting 11.5% organic growth in recurring EBIT in the first half 2026 compared with the first half 2025 in an investor communication dated July 31, 2026 that is referenced on its media page.
On the same page, Holcim points to net sales of CHF 15.7 billion in fiscal year 2025, which serves as a historical benchmark for its current scale and underlines the size of its operations as it shifts more production towards low carbon materials.
