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 centre. 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 coast to coast—you’ll find us at the ready. 

 

Amrize has 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 highly efficient 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.

Canadian materials for Canadian builders

 

Amrize has unified its national cement labelling under “Made in Canada,” giving Canadian builders confidence that their cement is produced in Canada, meets Canadian performance standards, and supports Canadian jobs and local economies.

 

The ‘Made in Canada’ label has rolled out across Amrize’s plants from Richmond, British Columbia and Exshaw, Alberta to Bath, Ontario and Brookfield, Nova Scotia.

 

Following the Competition Bureau of Canada guidelines, the label confirms the Amrize cement is manufactured in Canada with at least 90% Canadian material inside. Amrize’s Saint-Constant plant outside Montreal will carry the official ‘Manufactured in Québec’ designation administered by Les Produits du Québec.

 

Together, the two labels mean cement from all five of Amrize's Canadian cement plants carries a verified local standard.

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. 

 

Amrize’s Saint-Constant site in Quebec 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 our role in 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. We are committed to investing in Canada to deliver advanced building solutions and support long-term supply reliability. In 2026, we're investing US$900 million in our operations across North America.

 

This includes expanding production capacity and local manufacturing at our Exshaw and Saint-Constant cement plants, while introducing state-of-the-art operational efficiency and enhanced sustainability.

 

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

 

The Langley Group, a leading precast provider, joined Amrize in spring 2025, widening our precast concrete footprint with two cutting-edge facilities and allowing us to better support the rapidly growing infrastructure sector. We also launched the Tamarack, a next-generation barge that further enhances the agility and reliability of our leading distribution and logistics network.

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, and 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 industry contributes $5 billion CAD to the Canadian economy every year and supports over 62,000 Canadian jobs.

 

As Canada’s leading cement producer¹, 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.
