Holcim has finalised its deal for Xella, with the deal increasing the multinational’s range of building solutions.
The deal adds premium brands Ytong, Hebel, Silka and Multipor to Holcim’s stable as well as more than 4000 employees across 22 European markets.
“By expanding our high-value building solutions portfolio with leading brands such as Ytong, Hebel, Silka and Multipor, the acquisition will enable Holcim to provide fully integrated sustainable and innovative walling systems to our customers,” Miljan Gutovic said.
“It enhances Holcim’s specification selling capabilities in modern sustainable construction, from circularity and energy-efficient refurbishment to smart design and modular building. I warmly welcome Xella’s more than 4000 employees to the Holcim family.”
It comes after Holcim originally announced its intention to acquire the walling systems specialist in October 2025. According to a release at the time, the deal originally valued Zella at approximately €1.85 billion.
“We are very pleased to reach this agreement with Holcim as it is a validation of the incredible work that Xella has undertaken to further establish itself as a leader in walling solutions,” Lone Star chief executive officer Donald Quinn said at the time.
“Since we first partnered with Xella, we have seen the business focus on product enhancement, accelerate innovation and realign its operations to drive performance. We believe that the business has a great future given the platform it has built, and we are confident that Holcim is the right partner for Xella going forward.”
