Romania: LafargeHolcim's cement sales in Romania rose by 15.3% year-on-year in the first nine months of 2015, supported by building activity in the Bucharest area, although market prices fell by 0.8%.
"Demand in Eastern Europe remained strong in the non-oil exporting markets. Most countries reported increased volumes with strong increases across all three segments in Romania thanks to strong building activity in the Bucharest area," said a statement from LafargeHolcim.
LafargeHolcim has decided to sell the assets of one of the parent companies in Romania, Germany and Hungary. In Romania, the assets up for sale are those of Lafarge.
