The name for Holcim’s new North American venture has been revealed as the plan to spin off into an independent public company continues.
The North American business will be named Amrize once the planned spin-off is executed. The name is a combination of ambition and rising. According to Holcim, the name represents its commitment to high performance and innovation as well as the company’s drive to lead construction forward across North America.
“Introducing the Amrize name marks an important step as we prepare Holcim’s North American business to become an independent public company,” Amrize designated chairman and chief executive officer Jan Jenisch said.
“This is an exciting time for construction in North America, with the ongoing modernization of infrastructure, the reshoring of manufacturing, and the opportunity to bridge the housing gap with the most advanced building solutions.
“With our planned spin-off of Amrize, we aim to be the partner of choice for our North American customers and unlock value for all our stakeholders.”
The company intends to list Amrize under “AMRZ” on the New York Stock Exchange and its additional listing on the Swiss exchange.
The Amrize name and branding will go into effect with the completion of the spin-off, expected by the end of the first half 2025, subject to shareholder and customary approvals. Until then, the North American business continues to operate as part of Holcim.
