Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies has announced a strategic licensing agreement with its UK partner Cemblend Ltd as part of its continued international expansion strategy.
The agreement strengthens the company’s position in a key European market, covering the United Kingdom and Ireland, and is said to confirm the growing attractiveness of Hoffmann’s 0% clinker cement.
Cemblend Ltd, a specialist in customised cement powder mixes, has established its position as Hoffmann Green’s key partner for the introduction of 0% clinker cements in the UK and Ireland since 2022.
The initial distribution partnership is said to have quickly demonstrated the UK market’s interest in the solutions developed by Hoffmann Green. Building on this success, the two partners are now moving a step further with the signing of this licensing agreement, consolidating their shared ambition to accelerate the decarbonisation of the UK construction sector.
In exchange for Hoffmann Green’s industrial and technological transfer, the licensing agreement provides for entry fees of up to €2 m, as well as fixed and variable annual royalties indexed to revenues from the commercialisation of Hoffmann cements, and the sale of Hoffmann premix.
The production units built by the partner in the UK are expected to help meet the growing demand for sustainable materials, while contributing to the decarbonisation objectives of the UK and Irish construction sector.
Julien Blanchard and David Hoffmann, co-founders of Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, said: “We are honoured to reinforce our partnership with Cemblend Ltd through this strategic licensing agreement.
“It reflects the growing international attractiveness of our solutions and our ambition to transform the construction sector over the long term. By strengthening our presence in a major European market, we are consolidating our position as a key player and affirming our mission: to support the decarbonisation of the construction sector on a global scale.”
