Founded in 1912 as Holderbank in Switzerland, the company expanded through decades of organic growth and strategic acquisitions.

Under the leadership of Group CEO Jan Jenisch, who assumed the role in 2017, and Chairman of the Board Beat Hess, Holcim continues to pursue innovations in low-carbon construction, digital project solutions and circular economy initiatives aimed at reducing environmental impact.
