Eqiom Groupe CRH

What Eqiom Groupe CRH does

Eqiom Groupe CRH is a French construction materials producer and subsidiary of the Irish-listed CRH Group, following CRH's acquisition of the company in 2015. Founded in 1908 and headquartered in France, the company operates a vertically integrated model spanning three core product divisions: cement, ready-mix concrete, and aggregates, supported by hundreds of production sites across France and Luxembourg. With approximately 1,500 employees, it serves customers in construction, public works, infrastructure, agriculture, and environmental applications.

The company's product portfolio includes specialty low-carbon cement and concrete formulations developed under France's CCfD industrial decarbonization program, a €1.6 billion state-backed initiative supporting emissions reduction in heavy industry. It has also deployed dedicated digital platforms (iciBéton, DigiCem, DigiStone, Digibéton) for commercial ordering and customer service across each product line, and has maintained Top Employer certification in France for 12-13 consecutive years, winning BTP Product of the Year in 2024. In 2025, it completed two bolt-on acquisitions, Béton Torres in Île-de-France and BHS in Aube, to expand ready-mix concrete and aggregates capacity.

Revenue is generated through the sale of commodity-grade and specialty cement, ready-mix concrete, and aggregates, distributed through a combination of direct sales, B2B digital platforms, and a logistics network tied to production sites. Customer concentration is distributed across multiple end-markets and geographies. The company does not publish standalone revenue figures, and no AI/ML capability disclosures were identified in the available data.

Broad incumbents

• CRH plc: EQIOM's parent company and one of the world's largest building materials groups, providing group-level benchmarking, capital, and best practices that frame EQIOM's strategic positioning.
• Holcim Group: Global parent of EQIOM's main French competitor; a Swiss-listed world leader in cement, aggregates, and ready-mix concrete, with group-level sustainability commitments analogous to EQIOM's R-Score program.
• Saint-Gobain: French-headquartered global leader in construction materials with overlap in cement-adjacent products and shared French construction customers — broader portfolio but comparable end markets.
• Heidelberg Materials: German-headquartered global cement, aggregates, and ready-mix concrete leader — parent of Calcia France and a global benchmark for vertical integration and decarbonization strategy relevant to EQIOM.

Direct peers

• Cemex France: Cemex operates cement, ready-mix concrete, and aggregates operations in France — a direct competitor with similar product mix and customer segments as EQIOM.
• Vicat: Vicat is a long-established French cement, concrete, and aggregates group with deep domestic roots — competing directly with EQIOM across the full vertically integrated product portfolio.
• Heidelberg Materials France (Calcia): Calcia, the French subsidiary of Heidelberg Materials, is a leading cement and ready-mix concrete producer in France — competing head-to-head with EQIOM in the same regional markets and customer base.
• Holcim France (Lafarge): Holcim's French operations (formerly Lafarge) are the largest cement, ready-mix concrete, and aggregates producer in France — directly competing with EQIOM across all three product lines and customer segments.

Emerging players

• Imerys: French specialty minerals group that, while not a direct cement competitor, overlaps with EQIOM in supplying industrial mineral inputs to construction and adjacent markets, with similar French industrial heritage.

Regional players

• Buzzi Unicem: Italian-headquartered cement and ready-mix concrete group with operations across continental Europe — a regional peer with comparable product portfolio but operating primarily in Italy, Germany, and Eastern Europe rather than France.
