Regulatory News:
Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies (ISIN: FR0013451044, Ticker: ALHGR) ("Hoffmann Green Cement" or the "Company"), an industrial player committed to the decarbonation of the construction sector that designs and markets innovative cold produced, clinker-free cements, strengthens its collaboration with EDYCEM, the concrete subsidiary of HERIGE Group and a leading player in western France specializing in the production of ready-mix concrete, precast concrete products, and aggregates. The reinforced collaboration between the two companies will result in an increase in the volume of 0% clinker concrete produced by EDYCEM's network of plants from 2026, thereby contributing to the company's targets to reduce the carbon footprint of its concrete products as part of its Vitaliss initiative.
With its network of 35 plants, stretching from Finistère to the Arcachon bay, EDYCEM is well placed to support the transition to low-carbon solutions for construction in western France. With nearly 300 employees, the company has been actively committed for many years to reducing its carbon footprint, innovation, and the circular economy, driven by the ambition to give new purpose to construction and to support sustainable change in the sector.
Since 2021, Hoffmann Green and EDYCEM have been collaborating on several emblematic projects. By 2025, nearly 60 projects had been completed together, including: the foundations for a wastewater treatment plant with Eiffage in La Roche-sur-Yon; the Bernay Saint-Martin wind farm (17) with Fondeole on behalf of Volkswind; and the Arena a performance venue in Les Sables-d'Olonne with GCC. Today, the two partners are moving a step further by expanding the integration of Hoffmann cement throughout EDYCEM's network of plants. This ramp-up will accelerate the production and distribution of concrete with a carbon footprint reduced by more than 50% across the whole of western France from 2026, to meet growing demand from construction companies committed to an ambitious environmental transition.
For Hoffmann Green, this increased adoption of its solutions demonstrates the renewed confidence of a long-standing industrial partner and confirms particularly significant volume potential, while strengthening the presence of its low-carbon solutions throughout western France.
Julien BLANCHARD and David HOFFMANN, Co-founders of Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, say: "Since 2021, EDYCEM has been a strategic partner for the distribution of our 0% clinker cements. The acceleration of our collaboration within its vast network of plants from 2026 onwards will strengthen our capacity to generate significant industrial volumes, while contributing strongly to the decarbonization of the sector."
Oliver COLLIN, CEO of EDYCEM, adds: "More than ever, Edycem is committed to offering concrete solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of construction through Vitaliss solutions. This partnership with Hoffmann Green allows us to accelerate the development of Vitaliss A+ 0% clinker-rated concrete and to offer our customers, across our entire range, concrete solutions that meet the most challenging environmental standards."
