Mission

Embodying the paradigm shift
in the construction sector

 
Hoffman - changement de paradigme dans le secteur de la construction

Pioneer in decarbonated cements, Hoffmann Green has developed cements that are unique in the world, decarbonated and 0% clinker, enabling concrete and immediate action to reduce CO2 emissions.

These unique cements provide solutions to accelerate the environmental transition. They enable sectors such as construction, which accounts for 25% of France’s carbon emissions, to transform. They also offer a new future for concrete. A material that is essential today and tomorrow, but which has not undergone a real revolution for 200 years.

The entire industrial process is designed to have a minimum impact on the environment and biodiversity. The manufacturing process for Hoffmann cements promotes the circular economy by using local resources and co-products from industry, thus preserving natural resources.

Hoffmann Green believes in the power of a virtuous industrial approach that fully integrates environmental, social and societal impact. Hoffmann’s plants and the decarbonated cements they produce are the embodiment of this approach.

   
 

Industrial power to decarbonize the construction industry

 

Our four 0% clinker decarbonated cement technologies enable us to address a wide range of concrete applications: construction, wind turbine bases, urban infrastructure networks, soil stabilization and waste treatment.

To make 0% clinker cements accessible to as many people as possible, Hoffmann Green is gradually rolling out its products throughout France. To this end, the first stage of our industrial rollout involved the construction of two production sites in Bournezeau: H1, our pilot plant commissioned in 2019, and H2, the world’s first vertical cement plant inaugurated in 2023 and built entirely from Hoffmann’s 0% clinker decarbonated cements.

Construction of H3 at the Grand Port Maritime de Dunkerque is scheduled to start in 2025. H3 will be a copy of the H2 site in Vendée, with a production capacity of 250,000 tonnes per year. This location fits in perfectly with the Company’s strategic plan, since it is close to a rail and river junction, and offers a new maritime access that will link up with the storage silos located at the port of La Rochelle.

In July 2022, Hoffmann Green extended its independence with the launch of a slag grinding activity within a new entity, Hoffmann Microtech. This activity enables the company to expand its sourcing capacity and internalize part of the production of raw materials from industrial by-products.

   

Making the first 0% clinker decarbonated cements available

 

Since its creation, Hoffmann Green has been forging ahead to meet the urgent need for action.

In less than 10 years, the company has developed and marketed four breakthrough solutions, setting a new standard for cement: 0% clinker, carbon-free cement. Bringing these unique cements to market required extensive R&D, certification, evaluation and approval work to guarantee a level of performance at least equivalent to that of traditional cements.

Today, Hoffmann Green cements cover all concrete applications with unique technical and environmental performances. Hoffmann cements are distributed throughout France to both professional and private customers.

To make its ground-breaking solutions accessible to as many people as possible, Hoffman Green has rapidly embarked on international development, with its first worksites in England and Switzerland, and contracts for plant deployment in Saudi Arabia and the United States.
