Lafargeholcim Maroc

What Lafargeholcim Maroc does

Holcim Maroc (formerly LafargeHolcim Maroc) is Morocco's national leader in construction materials, manufacturing and supplying cement, concrete, aggregates (granulat), lime (chaux), mortar, and plaster (plâtre). Founded in 1928 and headquartered in Casablanca, the company operates as a joint venture between Holcim Group — the global leader in innovative and sustainable construction solutions — and Al Mada - Positive Impact, a pan-African private investment fund also based in Casablanca. The company was officially renamed from LafargeHolcim Maroc to Holcim Maroc by shareholder resolution on May 22, 2026, aligning its identity with the global Holcim brand. It employs more than 10,000 people and trades publicly on the Casablanca Stock Exchange under the ticker CAS:LHM.

The company's business model is built on direct supply of construction materials to enterprise and public-sector customers across Morocco's infrastructure and building sectors. Its portfolio is structured around core materials (cement, concrete, mortar, aggregates, lime, plaster), constructive solutions (roads, ready-mix concrete), and a growing set of accompanying services: Irchad (sustainability advisory), Salamaty (health & safety), Geocycle Maroc (circular-economy and waste co-processing), the Sustainable Construction LAB (innovation platform), and the LHM Academy (training). Holcim Maroc positions itself as a pioneer of circular construction in Morocco, with a strategic emphasis on eco-design, low-carbon materials, renewable energy integration, and end-of-life quarry rehabilitation — aligned with Morocco's national development strategy through 2030.

Revenue is generated through materials supply contracts with major infrastructure and building projects in Morocco; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company leverages its near-100-year operating history, integrated value chain from raw material extraction to construction-waste recycling, and the technology and brand backing of Holcim Group to maintain a national-leader position in a mature, capital-intensive commodity sector. Notable operational indicators include 539 hectares of rehabilitated sites and quarries and 323,000 trees planted as of 2021, underscoring the company's sustainability positioning as a core differentiator rather than a side initiative.
