What Dyckerhoff AG does

Dyckerhoff GmbH (referred to in some sources as Dyckerhoff AG) is a German cement and concrete manufacturer founded in 1864 in Amöneburg, now headquartered in Wiesbaden. It operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Italian-listed building materials group Buzzi S.p.A., serving as the group's primary platform for cement and concrete operations in Germany and Central Europe. The company runs seven production sites across Germany — five integrated cement plants (Amöneburg, Deuna, Geseke, Göllheim, Lengerich) and two grinding plants (Neuss, Neuwied) — with combined capacity exceeding 6 million tonnes per year. Amöneburg is the only German manufacturer of white Portland cement (Dyckerhoff WEISS brand, established 1931), and Lengerich is the largest global manufacturer and only German producer of well cements for oil, gas, and geothermal drilling.
