Swiss cement giant Holcim Ltd. is weighing a move to downtown Chicago for the planned spinoff of its North American operations, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The newly formed company, to be named Amrize, is currently considering relocating to the Loop, as Chicago’s central business district is known, said the person, who asked not to be identified because a final decision has yet to be made. Holcim’s North American office is located near O’Hare International Airport, close to the suburb of Rosemont, Illinois.
