Lehigh Hanson now officially Heidelberg Materials

Lehigh Hanson changed its brand to Heidelberg Materials near the start of the new year, with the new identity now in effect for the company’s corporate office and the Lehigh Cement and Hanson Aggregates brands.

The majority of the company’s other subsidiaries in the U.S. and Canada will change their brands to Heidelberg Materials in the coming months, the company says.

According to Heidelberg Materials, Lehigh Hanson’s evolution to the new identity reflects a broader and innovative approach to serving customers and becoming the industry leader in sustainability and digital solutions. Although the Heidelberg name is more than 150 years old and is often associated with cement only, Heidelberg Materials says the name change reflects the organization’s expertise in the heavy building materials industry.

“This is a major step change for our company, both globally and here in North America,” says Chris Ward, president and CEO of Heidelberg Materials North America and a member of the managing board at Heidelberg Materials. “We are thrilled to begin this transformation in North America today and continue our global journey to grow our business beyond cement and aggregates and become the most sustainable company in the sector.”
