Heidelberg Materials is a global building materials company headquartered in Heidelberg, Germany. Formerly known as HeidelbergCement AG, the business rebranded in 2022 to reflect its expanding portfolio beyond traditional cement production and to underscore its commitment to shaping future-ready construction solutions.
With roots dating back to 1874, Heidelberg Materials has grown through organic investment and targeted acquisitions, notably the 2016 purchase of Italcementi. Today, the company maintains operations in more than 60 countries across Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, serving a wide range of infrastructure, residential and commercial projects.
The firm’s core product suite includes portland and blended cements, aggregates such as sand and gravel, ready-mix concrete and asphalt. In addition to bulk materials, Heidelberg Materials offers technical consulting services, specialized admixtures and digital platforms designed to optimize material performance and project efficiency.
Heidelberg Materials has also prioritized sustainability and innovation, investing in alternative fuels, low-carbon cement variants and emerging carbon capture technologies. The company actively pursues circular economy initiatives—recycling construction waste and using by-products from other industries—to drive down greenhouse gas emissions and support its long-term environmental goals.
