Proposal Manager

Proposal Manager for Pyro & Grinding
Build a Better World
Urbanisation and continuous global economic growth create a steady need for homes, office buildings, roads and ports. This is driving the demand for cement despite its energy intensive process that accounts for 7% of global CO2 emissions. For more than 140 years, we have been pioneering solutions for the Cement industry by providing it with technologies, products and services that save energy, reduce emissions and maximise productivity. When we look at the world, we don't see it as it is, we see it as it could be. We bring efficient production to our clients and decarbonization to the entire industry. This is why our Cement strategy is called GREEN26.
