Sustainable building solutions provider Holcim announced the completion of the spin-off of Amrize, which is now operating as an independent, publicly traded company.

The spin-off was executed through a dividend-in-kind distribution, with shareholders receiving one Amrize share for each Holcim share held as of the close of business on June 20. Amrize shares will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the SIX Swiss Exchange under the ticker symbol “AMRZ” starting June 23.
