Amrize has revealed plans to increase capital expenditure to expand its presence in the US construction materials sector.
The company announced its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results to shareholders. Its revenues increased by 0.9 per cent to $11.8 billion in a big year, which included Amrize’s spin-off from Holcim being finalised last year.
Amrize chairman and chief executive officer Jan Jenisch said the company had noticed an improving commercial environment in its key markets.
“As we closed the year, we saw growing customer demand in cement and aggregates, as well as continued positive pricing. Our building envelope business was affected by the soft residential roofing market, while commercial repair and refurbishment remained resilient,” he said.
The company is expected to close its acquisition of PB Materials, based in West Texas, in the first quarter of 2026. This follows a 660,000-tonne capacity expansion of its Ste. Genevieve cement plant. Jenisch said the company was prepared to increase its capital expenditure from $US788 million to around $US900 million in 2026. The company has set its guidance of delivering revenues of four to six per cent increases in revenues and an eight to 11 per cent increase in adjusted EBITDA.
“We are also ramping up our value-accretive M&A to expand our footprint in the most attractive markets, demonstrated recently with our agreement to acquire PB Materials, the leading aggregates business in high-growth West Texas,” he said.
“We are delivering on our commitment to invest for growth and create value for all stakeholders. We are well-positioned in our $200 billion addressable market and have set our 2026 guidance reflecting accelerating customer demand and profitable growth.”
