As of 1 August 2015, the former French subsidiary of Holcim, now owned by CRH, will be renamed Orsima.
With the acquisition of Holcim France, resulting from the merger between Holcim and Lafarge, CRH will have a market share of around 15 per cent in the country.
The Ireland-based company now owns the three integrated cement works of Lumbers, Heming and Rochefort-sur-Nenon, the four grinding centres of Grand-Couronne, Dannes, Dunkirk and La Rochelle as well as the Montoir-de-Bretagne blending facility and 170 concrete plants and aggregates sites in the country.
