On 23 June 2025, Holcim AG completed the spin-off and public listing of its North American business, Amrize, and Amrize Ltd debuted as independent publicly traded company. The Amrize shares were listed on the New York Stock Exchange and on the SIX Swiss Exchange (SIX). The spin-off has been effected through a tax-neutral dividend-in-kind distribution of Amrize shares to Holcim shareholders as approved at Holcim‘s annual general meeting. The spin-off was preceded by the complete legal and structural separation of the Amrize business into a standalone company through a series of transactions. Amrize will be the leading pure-play building solutions company in North America with investment grade ratings, offering advanced building solutions from foundation to rooftop to serve all construction markets.
