Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies SA

Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies is a French industrial player specializing in the manufacturing and distribution of decarbonated, clinker-free cements for the construction sector. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Rives de l'Yon, France, the company's core mission is to drive the environmental transition in construction by offering innovative, extremely low-carbon cement solutions.

The company's key products are its unique 0% clinker cements, which boast a carbon footprint significantly lower than traditional Portland cement, often five times less. These cements are produced through a cold manufacturing process that consumes low energy and utilizes co-products from industry and local resources, promoting a circular economy. Hoffmann Green's products cater to various market segments, including general construction, exterior fittings, renewable energy projects, networks, floor treatment, waste processing, and agricultural applications.

Led by co-founders David Hoffmann (CEO and Chief Scientific Officer) and Julien Blanchard (Chairman of the Management Board), Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies has been actively expanding its industrial footprint and international reach. The company operates two production units in Bournezeau, France, including H2, recognized as the world's first vertical cement plant, inaugurated in May 2023. A third factory, H3, is planned for the Rhône-Alpes region, with construction anticipated for 2027-2028, aiming to increase total production capacity to approximately 1,000,000 tons per year. Hoffmann Green has secured numerous partnership and licensing agreements for its low-carbon cements across Europe, Saudi Arabia, and the United States, demonstrating its growing market presence and commitment to decarbonizing the global construction industry.
