Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies (SGMX: ALHGRp) has signed a commercial partnership with Clément & Fils, a family-run business specializing in masonry and structural work in the West of France. The agreement enables Clément & Fils to incorporate Hoffmann Green’s carbon-neutral, 0% clinker cements into its construction and renovation projects. This move supports Hoffmann Green’s target of selling 100,000 tonnes of cement by 2026 and strengthens its presence among regional construction players.

The partnership is already being implemented through the construction of a logistics hub in Saint-Étienne-de-Montluc (Loire-Atlantique). Clément & Fils, founded in 1959, operates between the Nantes urban area and the Guérande peninsula with over 45 employees. The firm has supported private individuals and businesses for more than 65 years, focusing on detached houses and industrial buildings while committing to environmental transition.

Julien Blanchard and David Hoffmann, co-founders of Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, stated that the partnership demonstrates growing confidence in their 0% clinker technologies. They noted that supporting long-established players like Clément & Fils in their transition toward low-carbon construction is central to their mission and drives business growth. Bertrand Clément, co-director of Clément & Fils, added that incorporating these innovative cements allows them to maintain technical performance and competitiveness while advancing sustainable construction practices.

Strategic Expansion Context

Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies designs and markets cold-produced, clinker-free cements with a carbon footprint five times lower than traditional cement. The company operates two production units in Bournezeau (Vendée): a 4.0 factory and H2, the world’s first vertical cement plant inaugurated in May 2023. A third factory is scheduled for construction in the Rhône-Alpes region in 2027–2028, aiming to bring total production capacity to around 1,000,000 tons per year.

The company’s technology modifies cement composition to create a cold manufacturing process with 0% clinker and low energy consumption. This process consumes 10 to 15 times less energy than Portland cement. Hoffmann Green was selected for the French Tech Green20 program in 2022 and for French Tech 2030 in June 2023. The group continues international development through licensing models in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, and the United States.

Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies sold and delivered nearly 40,000 metric tons of cement in the first half of 2026, doubling the volume achieved in the first half of 2025. This performance represents a 104% increase compared to H1 2025 and nearly five times the volume recorded in H1 2024. The company attributes this growth to the adoption of its 0% clinker cements by major players in the construction industry.

The company reached the milestone of its 1,000th production order for the H2 vertical factory. This milestone reflects the strengthening of its partner network, the ramp-up of production capacity, and the success of its market diversification strategy. Hoffmann Green confirmed its target of selling and delivering 100,000 metric tons over the full 2026 fiscal year, noting that the second half is typically stronger than the first.

Strategic Partnerships and Funding

Hoffmann Green signed nine commercial and industrial partnerships in the first half of 2026. These agreements include collaborations with GSE, Telamon, Briand, Biobuild, Ouest Réalisation, Le Coq Construction, Bruil, Groupe Angevin, and NOREE Construction. These partnerships span various sectors including general contracting, real estate development, and ready-mix concrete supply.

In June 2026, the company completed a private placement of approximately €5 million. The net proceeds are allocated to support the ramp-up in production volumes and cost optimization, accounting for approximately 60% of the funds. Approximately 25% of the net proceeds will fund the initial stages of the new H3 production site project, scheduled to come online in 2029 in the Rhône-Alpes region. The remaining 15% will continue research and development efforts.

Operational Outlook

The scaling of production is translating into significant savings on material costs, estimated at between €5 million and €8 million in 2026. The company operates two production units in Bournezeau: the 4.0 factory and the H2 vertical plant. A third factory is planned for the Rhône-Alpes region with construction scheduled for 2027-2028, aiming to bring total production capacity to around 1,000,000 tons per year.
