Salonit Anhovo

What Salonit Anhovo does

Salonit Anhovo, now operating as Alpacem Cement, d.d., is a Slovenian cement manufacturer and a subsidiary of Alpacem Holding, which sits within the privately-held Austrian Wietersdorfer Group. The company operates a single integrated cement plant at Anhovo in western Slovenia and produces cement, ready-mix concrete, and stone aggregates, serving the construction industry across Slovenia with the broader Alpacem platform extending commercial reach into Austria and Italy. Downstream activities are conducted through wholly-owned subsidiaries: Alpacem Beton (ready-mix concrete), Alpacem Kamnolomi (quarries and aggregate), and Alpacem Inde (industrial services), giving the group a quarry-to-placement vertical structure.

The company's core technology footprint centers on clinker and cement manufacturing with an integrated, energy-intensive process. It has positioned itself as a sustainability leader within the European cement sector, claiming carbon-neutral cement production and sourcing over 70% of its electricity from its own carbon-free energy assets. It has deployed continuous emissions monitoring technology at the Anhovo plant, providing real-time regulatory and process data. Distribution is B2B-direct to construction customers in the Alpine-Adriatic corridor, with volumes tied to regional construction activity and public infrastructure cycles.

As a privately-held subsidiary within a privately-held Austrian industrial conglomerate, Alpacem Cement, d.d. does not publicly disclose revenue, headcount, or financial details; the d.d. designation reflects the Slovenian corporate form (delniška družba) rather than a public listing. Revenue mechanics are not disclosed but are consistent with a commodity cement model — per-tonne pricing, logistics-intensive regional delivery, and supplementary income from aggregates and ready-mix concrete.
