LafargeHolcim mulls US$3bn exit from Australasia’s gypsum sector

27 November 2015

Australasia: LafargeHolcim is believed to be considering an exit from Australia and New Zealand, with the region under the spotlight as part of a strategic review globally of non-core assets. It is understood that a private equity firm has already made an approach for some assets, amid a period of global consolidation in the industry.

Lafarge sold its Australian gypsum operations four years ago for US$127m to Knauf, but Holcim has remained one of the most dominant suppliers in the Australian and New Zealand market of aggregates, concrete and concrete pipe and products. While the division is likely to be too large for Boral, it may pursue parts of the business or partner with another buyer to secure some of the LafargeHolcim assets. However, it is believed that the most likely acquirers include CRH and Votorantim.

Australia's construction industry has been enjoying strong conditions on the back of a recent boom in residential house prices in Melbourne and Sydney. Brickworks, the country's largest brick and tile maker, recently flagged a lift in its earnings for the 2016 financial year on the back of the strong momentum in its building products group.
