Under the terms of the agreement, LafargeHolcim will divest its 80.6 percent in Holcim Indonesia for an enterprise value of $1.75 billion on a 100 percent basis. The assets to be sold includes the entirety of LafargeHolcim’s operations in Indonesia, which consist of four cement plants, 33 ready-mix plants, and two aggregate quarries.

The divestment of LafargeHolcim’s operations in Indonesia is a part of the firm’s Strategy 2022 - ‘Building for Growth.’ Reuters quoted a statement in which the firm’s Chief Executive Jan Jenisch said, “As part of our Strategy 2022 – ‘Building for Growth’ we have committed to divestments of at least 2 billion Swiss francs. Today’s announcement is an important milestone in reaching our target and to increase our financial strength.”
