Mr. Iqbal Chowdhury, CEO of the company said:
"In the face of persistent inflation, elevated energy costs, and intense market pressures, LafargeHolcim Bangladesh has once again proven the strength of its strategic foundation. Our Q2 performance reflects our strong brand equity, customer trust, and our ability to quickly adapt through strategic pricing discipline and innovation.
We have taken decisive steps to safeguard our margins against rising gas tariffs and market volatility. A major milestone has been our successful energy transition—our waste management solutions arm, Geocycle, co-processed nearly 21,000 tons of non-recyclable waste into alternative fuel, reinforcing our commitment to the circular economy.
Furthermore, our strategic focus on expanding specialized solution offerings like Holcim Water Protect, Supercrete Pus (used for Fair Face), Holcim Coastal Guard and Powercrete continues to yield positive market traction. In parallel, our aggregates business has demonstrated significant price momentum and volume growth, positioning it as a high-potential segment capable of driving disproportionate growth and unlocking significant long-term value for our stakeholders."
