HANSON Construction Materials who have been part of the Heidelberg Cement group since 2007 will be rebranding to Heidelberg Materials from November 11, 2024. In September 2022, Heidelberg Cement rebranded to Heidelberg Materials as the new Global Brand. Hanson who have three long-running operations across the Sunshine Coast will also be rebranding to Heidelberg Materials on 11th November 2024.
The Hanson teams and operations will remain the same, ensuring the local focus continues. Regional General Manager Charlie Stoneman said the new brand marks a significant milestone for the global company and reflects their broadened service offering and enhanced commitment to driving sustainability across their business.
Mr Stoneman said while the name and logo will change, the local teams and the resources and services we provide to the community will not. “Our history dates back to 1956 when the business was founded as Pioneer,” he said. “Fast forward to the year 2000 and we were acquired by Hanson and underwent a similar rebranding before more recently being acquired by Heidelberg Cement in 2007.”
“We have long-serving employees at our Sunshine Coast operations who have been working with the business since the Pioneer days which is testament to the values and culture we have maintained throughout.” “Everything we do connects back to our ‘Think Global, Act Local’ approach, which ensures we retain our reputation as an industry leader, trusted by our customers and local communities.”
“With 150 years of successful operations worldwide, we’re now at the forefront of transforming the heavy building materials industry,” Mr Stoneman said. “We’re on the path to becoming a carbon neutral company. “We remain committed to offering an exceptional customer experience supported by innovative digital tools.” “This significant milestone also marks the beginning of a major transformation where we focus on our journey to carbon neutrality with digital solutions and a comprehensive range of quality, innovative, lowcarbon and high-recycled construction materials, including concrete, aggregates, and asphalt.”
“For now, it’s very much business as usual and the focus remains the same – keeping people safe, providing quality construction materials and an exceptional customer experience,” Mr Stoneman said. “We are very proud of our Sunshine Coast operations and our longstanding contributions to the community from providing much-needed resources to the Coast’s key construction and infrastructure projects to supporting local charities and schools with required materials,” he said.
“This will continue to consolidate our position as industry leaders, while leveraging off our global expertise.” The rebrand will start from November 11.
