Founded in 1972, Burdett employs more than 120 people and supplies building, infrastructure and industrial customers across Victoria. The deal expands Holcim’s aggregates and recycling business in Australia.

Khaled El Dokani, Holcim’s regional head for Asia, the Middle East and Africa, said Burdett’s recycling expertise and its location in a growing part of metropolitan Melbourne made it a good fit for the group’s NextGen Growth 2030 strategy.

Holcim said the acquisition would support its target of recycling more than 20 million tonnes of construction and demolition materials a year globally by 2030.

Under its ECOCycle brand, products contain between 10% and 100% recycled construction and demolition materials by weight.
