Holcim US rebrands Chicagoland operations

Holcim US is rebranding another set of operations to its name, transitioning several locations in the greater Chicago area.

The former Lafarge operations that were rebranded are aggregate sites in Joliet, Lemont, Romeoville, Summit, North Aurora, Algonquin, South Elgin, Elburn, McHenry, Sheridan and Newark. A slag grinding facility in South Chicago and cement terminals around Chicago were also rebranded.

Holcim US employs more than 400 people in the greater Chicago area.

“Right in the backyard of our company headquarters, we’re excited the greater Chicago area operations will now be recognized as Holcim,” says Randy Gaworski, senior vice president and general manager of the North Central Region at Holcim. “Customers will continue to experience the same quality products and services they expect from us today, but now have access to a larger network of services and innovation. This is one more step in our journey to create a more sustainable world as a trusted leader in decarbonizing the building industry.”

With Chicago-area sites now recognized as Holcim US, the company says about 75 percent of its U.S. aggregate, cement and ready-mixed concrete operations have transitioned to the Holcim name.
