US-based Lehigh Hanson has now changed its brand to Heidelberg Materials, effective immediately. Previously announced in September of last year, the new brand identity goes into effect today for the company's corporate office and its core brands of Lehigh Cement and Hanson Aggregates. Most of the company's other subsidiaries in the US and Canada will change their brands to Heidelberg Materials in the coming months.
Lehigh Hanson’s evolution to Heidelberg Materials is said to reflect its much broader and more innovative approach to serving its customers and becoming the industry leader in sustainability and digital solutions.
Although the Heidelberg name is more than 150 years old and is often associated with cement, Heidelberg Materials reflects the organisation’s expertise in the heavy building materials industry.
“This is a major step change for our company, both globally and here in North America,” said Chris Ward, president and CEO of Heidelberg Materials North America and member of the managing board of Heidelberg Materials. “We are thrilled to begin this transformation in North America today and continue our global journey to grow our business beyond cement and aggregates and become the most sustainable company in the sector.”
Based in Irving, Texas, Heidelberg Materials North America is part of Heidelberg Materials, one of the world’s biggest integrated manufacturers of building materials. The firm is a pioneer on the road to carbon neutrality and circular construction, developing new, sustainable building materials and intelligent digital solutions. In addition, the company offers digital services and solutions. Heidelberg Materials comprises the parent company HeidelbergCement AG and its fully consolidated subsidiaries.
