Bangladesh: Holcim has reaffirmed its commitment to the Bangladeshi market and expressed interest in ‘expanding sustainable operations’ in the country, BD News 24 has reported. The remarks arose in a meeting between Martin Kriegner, Holcim Executive Committee member and Regional Head for Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, and interim government Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus on 9 April 2025.
"We are thankful to the government for providing continuous support to enable us to produce world-class products in Bangladesh," said Kriegner. He suggested that ‘ongoing carbon capture initiatives’ in other countries may form the basis for the local introduction of carbon capture technologies in Bangladesh.
Holcim, the parent company of LafargeHolcim Bangladesh, has been operating in Bangladesh since 2000 and runs the country’s only integrated cement plant in Sunamganj Districts’s Chhatak Upazila.
