HeidelbergCement acquires 45% stake in Command Alkon

Cement manufacturing major HeidelbergCement has acquired 45% in Command Alkon, a software and technology provider, to manage the construction materials supply chain.

Software private equity firm Thoma Bravo will hold the remaining 55% in the company. According to HeidelbergCement, Thoma Bravo is the biggest global software base in construction materials.

CEO of HeidelbergCement, Dominik von Achten, told the media that the company's goal is to become the first industrial technology in construction. The partnership can set up a standard for the heavy construction materials sector.

Investment in Command Alkon and partnership with Thoma Bravo would allow the company to monetise the assets and transform them into a new growth path, he said.

According to the industry sources, HeidelbergCement was paying $250 million for the stake, and as a whole was being valued at $1.7 billion in the transaction.
