Group Services<br />

Group Services comprises the activities of our subsidiary HC<br />

Trading, one of the largest international trading companies<br />

for cement and clinker. The company is also responsible for<br />

purchasing and delivering coal and petroleum coke via sea<br />

routes to our own locations and to other cement companies<br />

around the world. In 2012, revenue in the Group Services<br />

business unit amounted to €828 million.<br />

Overall, more than 1,100 ships transported the goods in 2012,<br />

mostly via the main sea routes of Asia, the Mediterranean<br />

Basin, and Continental Europe to their destinations in Africa,<br />

the Middle East, and South America. Thanks to its sophisticated<br />

logistics, HC Trading is able to respond quickly to changing<br />

market conditions.<br />
