Holcim Group Orders US$435K of EdenCretePz7 Across Three Countries

Strategic Market Entry in Mexico

Eden Innovations Ltd (ASX:EDE) has announced a significant milestone with its first order from Holcim Mexico for its proprietary concrete additive, EdenCretePz7. Valued at approximately US$8,080 (AUD$12,509), this initial purchase represents Eden’s entry into a strategically important market with a population exceeding 130 million and one of the world’s top cement producers, ranking 11th globally with 50 million tonnes annually.

While the order itself is modest in financial terms, it follows an extensive testing phase by Holcim Mexico and signals confidence in EdenCretePz7’s performance and potential for broader adoption across multiple concrete plants in the country.

Expanding Footprint Across the Americas

This development extends Eden’s EdenCretePz7 footprint within the Holcim Group to three countries: Ecuador, the USA, and now Mexico. Over the past 11 months, Holcim Group companies in these regions have collectively placed orders totaling around US$435,000 (AUD$673,000), underscoring growing acceptance of Eden’s technology in major cement markets.

In the USA, Eden US is actively installing bulk storage and automated dispensing systems in Holcim plants, notably in Denver, Colorado, to facilitate large-scale use of EdenCretePz7 in concrete mixes. Similarly, Holcim Ecuador has placed substantial orders for container loads of the product, reflecting a multi-location rollout.

Trials Signal Further Growth Potential

Beyond these established markets, Holcim companies in eastern and western Canada, as well as the United Kingdom, are conducting ongoing trials of EdenCretePz7. Positive outcomes from these trials could open additional significant markets for Eden, further cementing its position as a global player in advanced concrete additives.

Holcim’s global footprint and its commitment to decarbonizing cement and concrete products align closely with Eden’s value proposition. EdenCretePz7 enables the replacement of a portion of Portland cement with low-carbon pozzolanic materials like fly ash and blast furnace slag, both industrial by-products with minimal carbon footprints. This substitution not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but can also lower costs without compromising concrete performance.

A Milestone in Sustainable Construction Materials

The partnership with Holcim, a Swiss-based global leader operating in over 80 countries with annual revenues near AUD$44 billion, is a major endorsement of Eden’s technology. Holcim’s focus on sustainability and reducing the carbon footprint of its products dovetails with Eden’s mission to deliver stronger, more durable, and environmentally friendly concrete solutions.

As EdenCretePz7 continues to gain traction across multiple continents, the company is well positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for greener construction materials. The product’s proven benefits in enhancing concrete strength and durability while enabling significant carbon reductions make it an attractive option for infrastructure projects worldwide.
