It reached its savings target for sales and general administration costs of Euro100m 15 months ahead of schedule and cut net debt by Euro1.1bn. Bernd Scheifele, chairman of the managing board of HeidelbergCement, said “Price increases and strict cost discipline more than compensated for slightly weaker demand in the third quarter.”
