“Last year, we once again demonstrated that we can successfully maintain our growth trajectory even in a persistently challenging environment,” says Dominik von Achten, chairman of the managing board at Heidelberg Materials. “Our consistent focus on strict cost management contributed significantly to this excellent result. At the same time, we benefit from our diversified geographical presence and clear focus on our core business. This enables us to accelerate our growth even in volatile times.”
Von Achten says Heidelberg Materials is optimistic about the 2026 financial year.
“Even though the construction sector remains volatile in some regions, we expect our core markets to continue to stabilize,” he says. “We therefore expect that results will once again grow in the current year.”
