CHAILLÉ-SOUS-LES-ORMEAUX, France, March 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
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, today announced the extension of its partnership with Groupe Trecobat, France's 3rd largest builder of single-family homes. From March 2025, Hoffmann Green 0% clinker cements will be widely deployed on more than 100 Trecobat homes in the west of France.
Founded in 1972, the Trecobat Group is a leading player in the construction of single-family homes, with sales of 203 million euros in 2023 and a strong territorial presence covering all the Grand Ouest region. Since January 2024, the partnership with Hoffmann Green has enabled Trecobat to accelerate its transition to sustainable construction by using 0% clinker cements for its Trecobat Green and Trecobois homes, which combine comfort and environmental performance. After a successful first phase of trials and tests in 2024, Trecobat was convinced by the quality of Hoffmann Green's decarbonized cements. From March 2025, Trecobat confirms its commitment by deploying these solutions on more than 100 Trecobat Green and Trecobois homes in the West of France. This milestone represents a key step in the industrialization of low-carbon cements for residential construction.
This deployment is based on a technical synergy between Hoffmann Green's H-UKR cement and prefabricated floor systems from Fimurex Planchers, a specialist in the conception of reinforced concrete elements for single-family homes. This innovation enables decarbonated floors to be integrated into Trecobat Green and Trecobois wood-frame houses. Thanks to the combination of the three partners' cutting-edge technologies, the requirements of the 2031 threshold of the RE2020 environmental regulation are already anticipated today, demonstrating their determination to accelerate the ecological transition and reduce the carbon impact of the building sector. The ATEx obtained in November 2024 for this application validates the relevance of this approach and paves the way for its wider implementation.
Hoffmann Green relies on a vast network of partners with ready-mix concrete plants to deliver its products to Trecobat construction sites in Western France. This optimized territorial network guarantees an efficient supply of Hoffmann Green's decarbonized concrete to all single-family home building sites.
The intensification of this partnership with volume commitments enables Hoffmann Green to pursue its diversification strategy and accelerate its sales momentum on the French market. This strategic step testifies to the growing acceptance of decarbonized solutions by key players in the construction industry, consolidating Hoffmann Green's position as an innovation leader in the sustainable construction sector.
Julien BLANCHARD and David HOFFMANN, Co-founders of Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, say: "We are delighted to be taking this new step with Groupe Trecobat to build more than 100 single-family homes from March 2025 in Western France. This new development will enable us to consolidate our presence in the single-family home market and reinforce our impact in eco-responsible construction."
Alban Boyé, Chairman and CEO of Groupe Trecobat, added: "After a phase of successful tests on our building sites, our conviction in the relevance and quality of Hoffmann Green solutions for our Trecobat Green homes has been fully confirmed. Proud of our heritage and our spirit of innovation, we look forward to continuing to build single-family homes with Hoffmann 0% cement clinker, and, together with the Vendée-based group, to reinforcing the development of low-carbon construction throughout Western France."
