Holcim Spain issues new ERE

Holcim Spain has presented a new record of employment regulation (ERE) that will affect 141 staff.

While Holcim is reported by construction organisation Fecoma to have plans to sell its Gádor (Almería) cement works, the ERE mainly affects workers in the concrete mortar and aggregates divisions.

The adjustment in its workforce is part of ongoing changes made in recent years by several Spanish cement makers, including Cemex and Cementos Portland. Spain’s cement sector has made considerable cutbacks as freefalling demand in recent years has seen sales slump.
