Holcim has closed the acquisition of Alkern, a leading French manufacturer of precast concrete, with estimated net sales of around EUR 250 million in 2025.
Founded in 1972, Alkern has 1,000 employees and more than 50 production sites in France and Belgium. Alkern's offering complements Holcim's building solutions portfolio, providing walling, flooring and water management systems that can be specified across the built environment.
The acquisition advances Holcim's target for its Building Solutions segment to account for 50 % of group net sales by 2030.
The acquisition is expected to generate run-rate synergies of EUR 11 million realized in year three.
