Brussels, 18 March 2025
The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of joint control of BGC Cementitious by Holcim (Australia) Pty Ltd (‘Holcim’), both of Australia, and Heidelberg Materials AG (‘Heidelberg’) of Germany.
The transaction relates primarily to the cement, concrete, asphalt materials and transport technology in Australia.
The Commission concluded that the notified transaction would not raise competition concerns, given the limited impact on the European Economic Area. The notified transaction was examined under the simplified merger review procedure.
More information is available on the Commission’s competition website, in the public case register under the case number M.11875.
