About Dyckerhoff
Dyckerhoff GmbH, headquartered in Wiesbaden-Amöneburg, is an internationally active manufacturer of cement and ready-mixed concrete and belongs to the Italian Buzzi Group. In Germany, the company operates seven cement or grinding plants in Amöneburg/Wiesbaden, Deuna (Niederorschel), Geseke, Göllheim, Lengerich, Neuss and Neuwied with a total capacity of around 7.2 million tonnes of cement per year, as well as approximately 110 ready-mixed concrete plants and three gravel plants (Leubingen, Seltz, Trebur). The portfolio comprises grey and white cements in accordance with DIN EN 197-1 (e.g. CEM I 42,5 R dw "Dyckerhoff Weiss"), well cements, ready-mixed concrete, plant-fresh mortar, calcium sulphate and cement flowing screeds as well as special products for infrastructure and special construction (including MIKRODUR ultra-fine cements, NANODUR Compound, MICROFOND high-performance flowing mortar) and special civil engineering (SOLIDUR cut-off wall binders and ready-mixed compounds). Production takes place in rotary kilns and grinding plants in line with current building material technology findings; for process development towards CO2 capture, the company is engaged in the research association CI4C. In addition, Dyckerhoff offers building materials consultancy, laboratory services, digital services (concrete portal, digital delivery note, API interface) and delivery including transport all the way into the formwork.
