We’ve been helping build Canada’s cities—and prosperity—for over a century. Now, together with the nation’s professional builders, we’re growing its future. Let’s build your ambition.

The partner of choice for professional builders from foundation to rooftop

 

The builders of Canada take pride in their craftsmanship. And we’re proud to help them realize their vision. 

 

It could be closing the housing gap or building a 160-bed children’s medical facility. Constructing a 10-lane bridge or innovating at an AI data center. From foundation to rooftop, we are here to help get the job done right. 

 

Amrize is a leading building materials company across Canada, but first and foremost, we’re a neighbourhood partner. Our local-to-local model ensures we deliver the quality, consistency and reliability that make us a trusted provider—while creating economic vitality and jobs.

All in for our Canadian customers, everywhere, every job

 

Wherever you need us in Canada—from British Columbia to Nova Scotia—you’ll find us at the ready. 

 

We have over 450 sites across the country, many with a long and storied history. Our Exshaw facility in Alberta is the largest cement plant in Canada and has been operating since 1907.  

 

With our unparalleled distribution and logistics network and trusted relationships with indigenous communities—including a 50-plus year partnership with the Whitefish River First Nation in Ontario—we’re able to work in remote areas with speed and scale. Our 7,500 Canada-based colleagues are all in for our customers, wherever, whatever and whenever the job.

Making essential materials as an essential community member 

 

Whether making precast in Richmond or cement in Nova Scotia, ready-mix in Montréal or aggregates in Calgary, our manufacturing plants sit at the heart of their communities. 

 

Our St-Constant site in Québec is one of the biggest employers in the region and supplies a significant portion of the cement used in the Greater Montréal area. That’s typical of Amrize’s role providing high-paying jobs, enduring partnerships, and the innovation that empowers projects like Montréal’s Metro Blue Line extension.

Building Canada’s cities, communities and future 

 

As Canada advances, so do we. During 2025, we are investing almost $1 billion CAD in our operations across North America. 

 

This includes modernization of our St-Constant plant, as well as the expansion of production at our Exshaw plant to best serve our customers in the growing Calgary and Western Canada markets.

 

We’re also adding to our capabilities by welcoming new colleagues and resources to the Amrize team. 

 

Leading precast provider, the Langley Group, joined Amrize in spring 2025, allowing us to better support the rapidly growing infrastructure sector. And this summer, we launched the Tamarack, a next-generation barge that’s the first new cement carrier on the Great Lakes in two decades.

Canada is a top producer of cement¹, an essential contributor to the nation’s economy

 

Cement is one of the building blocks of Canadian progress. It supports the bridges and tunnels that connect us, the buildings where we live, work and learn, the airports and transit hubs that take us from where we are to where we need to be.

 

It also spurs growth. According to the Cement Association of Canada, the cement and concrete industry contributes $76 billion CAD to the Canadian economy every year and supports over 166,000 Canadian jobs.

 

As Canada’s top cement provider¹, we are proud to play a significant role in this engine of growth and job-creation. From Richmond, BC, to Brookfield, NS, our five cement plants provide the quality, reliability and responsibility professional builders need to keep moving Canada forward.
