What HolcimUS does
Amrize (formerly HolcimUS) is the North American building materials and building envelope business recently rebranded from Holcim's regional operations. The company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, employs 2,225 people, and operates 1,000+ sites across all U.S. states and Canadian provinces, with over 100 years of cumulative operating history. It is a publicly traded entity with investor relations infrastructure and a $1 billion share buyback program launched in May 2026, indicating a recently independent capital structure.
The company operates two business segments. Building Materials covers cement (OneCem), aggregates, concrete (under the EVERtect family including ECOtect low-carbon, RAPIDtect high early strength, and FLUIDtect self-consolidating variants), and asphalt. Building Envelope covers commercial roofing (Elevate), residential roofing (Duro-Last, Malarkey), insulation (Enverge), weatherization, and adhesives & sealants (Gaco, OX). The technical core is industrial-scale materials production and formulation rather than software or proprietary technology platforms, with specialty concrete variants representing the most differentiated product innovation. Distribution is conducted through a direct network of 1,000+ company-owned sites plus brand-specific digital portals.
Amrize generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of construction materials and building envelope products, supplemented by distribution and logistics services. Its go-to-market is direct-to-customer, targeting professional builders, contractors, architects, engineers, public authorities, and cities across infrastructure, commercial, residential, and repair & refurbishment segments. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no publicly disclosed list pricing. Marquee reference projects include the Gordie Howe International Bridge, Populus Hotel in Denver, Winthrop Center in Boston, and a historic Michigan Island house hotel, demonstrating the breadth of large-infrastructure, commercial, and specialty-residential project capture.
