Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies (ISIN: FR0013451044, Ticker:
ALHGR) (“Hoffmann Green Cement” or the “Company”), an industrial
player committed to the decarbonation of the construction sector
that designs and markets innovative clinker-free cements, announced
its presence as part of the French delegation alongside President
Emmanuel Macron from 2 to 4 December in Saudi Arabia, following an
invitation from Crown Prince Mohammed ben Salmane.
Hoffmann Green Cement has established a strategic relationship
with Saudi Arabia through its collaboration with the Shurfah Group,
a leading Saudi conglomerate managing a real estate portfolio
exceeding 13.8 million homes and an investment of more than 6
billion riyals. This partnership, which includes an exclusive
22-year licensing agreement, aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030
plan to decarbonize its construction sector. A key milestone in
this collaboration was recently achieved with the laying of the
foundation stone for a Hoffmann plant in Rabigh, marking the start
of local production of low-carbon cements that meet the Kingdom's
ambitions in terms of sustainability and innovation.
Supported by Business France, Hoffmann Green Cement sees this
business visit as a strategic opportunity to strengthen its
contribution to the environmental transition in Saudi Arabia.
Thomas Atkinson, Hoffmann Green's International Director, will be
taking part in several meetings with Saudi public and private
decision-makers to explore new opportunities for collaboration on
emblematic projects, leveraging the exceptional visibility afforded
by this presidential mission. These discussions are taking place in
a dynamic economic context in which Saudi Arabia, driven by its
Vision 2030, aims to attract innovative technologies to drive its
economic and social development.
Julien Blanchard and David Hoffmann, co-founders of Hoffmann
Green Cement Technologies, said: “Hoffmann Green has developed
a strong relationship with Saudi Arabia. We are therefore honoured
to be among the guests of the French government during President
Emmanuel Macron's trip. This invitation to join the presidential
delegation illustrates the international recognition of the quality
and innovation of Hoffmann Green Cement products. This visit also
represents a unique opportunity to consolidate our presence in a
fast-growing local market.”
Thomas Atkinson, International Director of Hoffmann Green
Cement Technologies, added: “Our presence as part of the
presidential delegation during this state visit reflects Hoffmann
Green's international dimension, the result of key achievements
abroad over the past year, particularly in Saudi Arabia, one of the
company's strategic partners. This high--visibility event is an
ideal occasion to strengthen our relations through structuring
meetings with strategic players in the sector in the Kingdom, such
as Aramco and Red Sea Global.”
