CHAILLÉ-SOUS-LES-ORMEAUX, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies (ISIN: FR0013451044, Ticker: ALHGR) (Paris:ALHGR) (“Hoffmann Green Cement” or the “Company”), an industrial player committed to decarbonizing the construction sector that designs and distributes innovative clinker-free cement, announces the launch of the construction of its R&D concrete mixing plant on the Bournezeau site.

Six months after the commercial launch of H-IONA, the European market’s most decarbonized cement, Hoffmann Green Cement is continuing to develop its R&D policy with the construction of a concrete mixing plant that will enable the Company to undertake in-house trials of its future technologies and the development of certain specific concrete formulations for its clients.

With an estimated investment of €1.5 million, this plant will be financed by the funds raised through the capital increase carried out in November 2021. With solar panels and ultra-modern water processing systems, this plant 4.0 combines modernity and eco-responsibility just like all of the Company’s facilities. The new plant is expected to become operational in July.

Julien Blanchard and David Hoffmann, co-founders of Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, commented: “The construction of this concrete mixing plant is perfectly in line with our R&D strategy and aims to establish our leadership position in the production of clinker-free cement. Designed and built to respect our environment, this ultra-modern plant will notably allow our R&D team to carry out a large number of trials on the Bournezeau site in order to develop concrete formulations for certain clients of ours. Its construction is being financed by our recent capital increase. We would therefore like to use this launch as an opportunity to thank all our shareholders who are accompanying us on this disruptive industrial journey to make the construction sector more environmentally responsible”.
