FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Heidelberg Materials is weighing a listing in the United States as a way to potentially tackle a geographical gap in valuation, its chief executive told analysts on Thursday.
While ruling out a corporate split in the vein of larger rival Holcim, Dominik von Achten said the company was looking at all other options to raise value, including a local listing.
“For me whether you list in the U.S. or whether you split your business completely and make two different players out of it is a difference,” Dominik von Achten told analysts after presenting full-year results.
