Russian prosecutor’s office drops claim for expropriation of Heidelberg Materials’ Russian business

14 September 2023

Russia: A court has accepted a request by the Prosecutor General’s Office to drop a claim for the appropriation of Russian assets of Germany-based Heidelberg Materials by the Russian government. The assets include shares in cement producers HeidelbergCement Rus and Shale Cement Plant Cesla, as well as minerals producers Gurovo-Beton and Syryevaya Kompaniya.

A lawyer for the prosecutor’s office said “The state's interests can be protected by other lawful means.”

Heidelberg Materials suspended new investments in its Russian business on 10 March 2022. The Prosecutor General’s Office subsequently requested its expropriation, following which a court froze the assets in August 2023. Interfax News has reported that representatives of Heidelberg Materials’ Russian business then made an undertaking to the Russian government, according to which they would maintain their prices, production volumes and number of employees.

14 September 2023

India: Dalmia Cement (Bharat) faces a potential stumbling block to its planned acquisition of Jaiprakash Associates’ cement business for US$683m due to an on-going shareholder dispute at subsidiary Jaypee Bhilai Cement.

New transport workers’ strike hits South Korean railways

14 September 2023

South Korea: The Korean Railway Workers’ Union called a four-day strike of its 13,000 members across South Korea on 14 September 2023. Reuters has reported that the union is seeking higher pay, improved working conditions and the expansion of bullet train services into South Seoul. The Ministry of Transport predicts that total cargo haulage will drop by 53 - 79%. The Korean Cement Association (KCA) said that a protracted strike would disrupt cement production. The industry is 40% reliant on rail transport.

A representative from a KCA member said “We have secured some inventory in preparation for the strike, but it's not a lot. If the strike lengthens, we will have to convert to land transport, which will drive up costs and hit profitability."
