Amrize rings in a new era: A look back at NYSE listing day—and ahead to what’s next
July 1, 2025
Around 50 Amrize employees represented the 19,000-strong team at the NYSE
Day was breaking in lower Manhattan and Amrize had begun to paint the town blue.
Amrize-logoed banners emblazoned the New York Stock Exchange. “Build Your Ambition” boards dressed the NYSE trading floor. And in a few hours, screens in Times Square would project videos introducing our “advanced branded solutions from foundation to rooftop.”
June 23, 2025, was Amrize’s NYSE listing day. The day we became an independent, publicly traded company ready to be the partner of choice for the professional builders of North America.
“For the last 100 years, we have played a critical role in building North America and have established ourselves as a market leader,” said our CEO and Chair, Jan Jenisch, ahead of the bell-ringing ceremony. “And now, we have the chance to truly set ourselves apart.”
The Amrize Executive Team rang the opening bell at the NYSE while around 50 Amrize colleagues watched from the trading room floor. (Image courtesy of NYSE Group. NYSE does not recommend or endorse any investments, investment strategies, companies, products or services.)
This bell’s for you, the ‘founders of Amrize'
To rousing applause, Jan rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange and then the first trading bell that sent AMRZ shares onto the market. He described the milestone as a true honor, saying it was only possible thanks to Amrize’s 19,000 teammates.
“You are the founders of Amrize. This successful spin-off and our shared future have been made possible by you, our empowered teams, delivering for our customers every single day.”
Around 50 of our employee-founders won the chance to witness the event in person, including attending the pre-bell speeches and watching the bell-ringing from the NYSE trading floor. For Amrize senior process engineer, Aracely Cruz, it represented the start of a new chapter. “We’re swinging into a time of growth and innovation,” said the Jacksonville, Florida-based leader. “I’m grateful to be here. And I’m looking forward to the future.”
Post-spinoff, Amrize is ready to focus, build and grow
Amrize will have a 100% strategic and operational focus on the U.S. and Canada at a time when megatrends here are fueling growth. Cities are modernizing, businesses are onshoring, infrastructure is advancing and AI is exploding—increasing the demand for data centers and the infrastructure that supports them.
“Data centers are enormous,” Jan told CNBC’s Jim Cramer during an interview on the trading floor. “We’re excited to provide the foundation, the structure and the roof, but we’re even more excited to do all the infrastructure because they need power supply, water supply, more streets, etc.”
Such future potential — in a $200 billion addressable construction market for Amrize — is one of the reasons Jan describes us as a growth company. Another? The business’s track record of success. “We have in the last five years doubled sales,” he told CNBC. “We went from a $6 billion to a $12 billion dollar company. We have been one of the most successful companies in the building sector in the last five years.”
Looking ahead, Amrize is projecting strong, profitable growth through performance, organic growth and acquisitions. “The good thing is we will do this together,” Jan said at the post-bell colleague meeting. “If we can duplicate what we’ve done over the past five years, we will be very successful.”

Building North America... in Times Square
In New York’s Times Square, passersby could see some of the projects that have fueled Amrize’s success and advanced how North America builds and lives. The record-breaking Gordie Howe Bridge connecting the U.S. and Canada. The LEED Gold certified Seattle Spheres. Denver’s iconic Populus Hotel. Just some of the structures that shone from screens in one of the busiest intersections in the world.
“You hardly find any big project that we’re not involved in,” Jan told Jim Cramer.
But mega-projects are only part of the Amrize story. Our company distinguishes itself by having a uniquely balanced portfolio. We serve commercial, residential and infrastructure. We’re about 50-50 new construction and repair and refurbishment. That allows us to meet the constant need for renovation, while helping build our region’s future through new construction.

Leading the company (and the industry) forward
As Jan prepared our team to begin this new adventure, he reflected on how he would lead. “It’s all about the people from the customer to your colleagues,” he told NYSE-TV during an interview on the trading floor. “We are in a local-for-local business so we have more than 1,000 sites in the U.S. and Canada and this is my focus to make sure everyone works together and we do everything we can to make the customer happy.”
Immediately after listing day, Jan and the Amrize Executive team left to celebrate Founders’ Week. They visited our sites across the U.S. and Canada with one simple message: “Thank you for making this achievement possible. Now we have to do this — together.”
