Why is Âé¶¹´«Ã½ expanding in Building Solutions?

High-value Building Solutions consists of energy-efficient building systems as well as high-performance ready-mix concrete and surfacing, optimized by our digital services, including artificial intelligence.

Expanding in Building Solutions is a key part of our NextGen Growth 2030 transformation and is one of the four drivers of our strategy – to unlock above-market growth across our geographies and capture new, profitable market segments.

With brands from ECOPact and Agilia to Ytong and Hebel and Zinco, we provide our customers with end-to-end solutions – from foundations and flooring to walling and roofing.

Alongside the target to grow Building Solutions to 50% of our portfolio, we’re targeting 50% ready-mix net sales from ECOPact – which is central to our building solutions offer.

In H1 2025, ECOPact accounted for 31% of Âé¶¹´«Ã½â€™s total ready-mix concrete net sales.
