Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies (ISIN: FR0013451044, Ticker:
ALHGR) (“Hoffmann Green Cement” or the “Company”), an industrial
player committed to decarbonizing the construction sector that
designs and distributes innovative clinker-free cement, announces
that its third production site (H3) will be built in the port of
Dunkirk; this is a major step in the execution of its industrial
development plan.
Hoffmann Green has achieved a key milestone its development by
signing a 40-year AOT (Autorisation d'Occupation Temporaire, or
Temporary Occupation Permit) in Dunkirk Major Sea Port (Grand Port
Maritime de Dunkerque – GPMD) in order to build the Company’s third
production site (H3) on a 5-hectare (12-acre) plot of land. To
date, this agreement is in the form of a reservation protocol,
Hoffmann Green will thus take possession of the land when the
current occupant has finalized its operations to evacuate the
site.
The location of the new site is perfectly in line with the
Company’s strategic plan, as it lies next to rail and river links
and will provide additional sea access connecting it to the storage
silos in the port of La Rochelle. It is also consistent with GPMD’s
strategy of developing industry to generate new maritime traffic in
its port terminals.
Built entirely with Hoffmann clinker-free decarbonized cement,
H3 will be a carbon copy of the H2 site in the Vendée, western
France and will thus have a production capacity of 250,000 metric
tons a year. This new production facility will be able to target
the French market’s Hauts-de-France and Ile-de-France regions, as
well as the Benelux market. Construction of this H3 plant should
begin in the first half of 2023, with delivery slated for the end
of 2024.
Julien BLANCHARD and David Hoffmann, co-founders of Hoffmann
Green Cement Technologies, said: “The signing of this agreement
with a view to building our H3 site is a decisive step that will
enable us to increase our production capabilities and our
commercial footprint. Ideally located and with excellent transport
links, this new production plant will facilitate our access to new
strategic parts of France in order to expand as much as possible
the commercialization of our clinker-free cement and thus
accelerate the decarbonization of the construction sector. We would
like to thank the local authorities, and are enthusiastic about
launching the construction of this new site.”
Maurice GEORGES, Chairman of Dunkirk Port, added: “We are
delighted to have the opportunity to welcome Hoffmann Green, a
player of the energy transition that is making a substantial
contribution to reducing the building sector’s greenhouse gas
emissions. This new site illustrates our commitment both to
innovation and with regard to societal and environmental issues. We
are eager to work with Hoffmann Green on the next stages of the
installation of its new facility.”
