06.08.2007

HeidelbergCement announces that it has entered into an agreement with
Compagnie de Saint Gobain on the sale of maxit Group. The purchase 
price amounts to EUR 2.125 million. The closing is subject to 
regulatory approval and HeidelbergCement expects the transaction to 
close in late 2007.

With the sale of maxit HeidelbergCement pursues consequently its 
strategy of focusing on processing and refining of raw materials for 
its core products cement and aggregates and further downstream 
activities. HeidelbergCement will use the transaction proceeds to 
help finance its acquisition of the British building materials 
producer Hanson PLC announced earlier this year.
