Our visionRethinking the construction model, thanks to innovative processes and 4.0 production units by Hoffmann Green.
The construction industry, which is essential for housing, healthcare and transport, needs to evolve.
Today, 80% of buildings in France are made from concrete, a universal material. The production of its essential component, cement, has not undergone any major change in the last two centuries. Only a technological breakthrough can change that!
With its first 4.0 production site in the Vendée region, Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies has a production capacity of 50,000 tonnes and embodies this desire to transform the construction industry. It’s a commitment born of a combination of scientific expertise and industrial boldness.
Far from the image of traditional cement works, this site, with no kiln or chimney, produces no waste and is based on an automated industrial production process. It is also equipped with three solar trackers that supply 25% of the site’s energy consumption.
A concept that can be replicated throughout France and the rest of the world, the Hoffmann Green site, which has been operational since January 2019, is based on making the most of local supplies.
With the ambition of accelerating its development and becoming the leader in carbon-free cement in France, Hoffmann Green has implemented an industrial deployment strategy based on the construction of two new production sites. The first, scheduled to come on stream in the second half of 2022, will be located in the Vendée region of France, with a production capacity of 250,000 tonnes of Hoffmann cement per year. The second will also have a production capacity of 250,000 tonnes a year, and will be located in the major port of Dunkirk. It will come on stream in the second half of 2024.
