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, announces the launch of construction of H-KSA 1, the first Hoffmann unit in Saudi Arabia.

The laying of the foundation stone at the Rabigh site follows the signing of the licensing agreement with the Shurfah Group, a Saudi conglomerate with a property portfolio of over 13,800 homes and an investment of more than 6 billion riyals.

As a reminder, this exclusive 22-year agreement provides for the construction of four Hoffmann Green units in Saudi Arabia to support the decarbonization of the country's construction sector.

As part of the Vision 2030 plan, the Shurfah Group will finance, build and operate several Hoffmann Green production units and commercialize Hoffmann Green decarbonized cements on an exclusive basis throughout Saudi Arabia. This vertical unit and all following ones will be built entirely with Hoffmann Green cement.

According to the timetable drawn up with the partner, construction should be completed by the end of 2025.

Julien Blanchard and David Hoffmann, co-founders of Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, said: “The laying of the foundation stone is a symbolic moment in any construction project. We are very proud to have reached this first milestone with our partner Shurfah, on schedule. Less than a year after signing the licensing agreement, the start of construction of H-KSA 1 marks our international deployment in support of the kingdom's ambitious “Vision 2030” project. We are delighted to participate in the decarbonization of the Saudi construction sector by building several of our units on their territory and marketing our 0% cement clinker.”

Abdullah Al Majed, Founder and Chairman of Shurfah Holding Company, specifies, added: “Decarbonizing our “smart cities” is a major challenge for Shurfah Holding and, more broadly, for Saudi Arabia. This partnership with Hoffmann Green is a natural fit with the Vision 2030 Plan, which strives to contribute to the sustainable development of the Saudi economy. We now look forward to continuing construction work to bring Saudi Arabia's first sustainable 0% clinker cement to market.”
