Carmeuse has built its success and its growth upon a mission, a vision and a set of values that are fundamental to how we conduct business in the countries in which we operate.
OUR HISTORY
Our company history dates back more than 160 years when Léon Collinet succeeded in bringing together several independent lime quarries in 1860 to become a major Belgium lime company. A lot has changed for Carmeuse along the way. We have expanded our global footprint, developed new offerings to support new and existing markets, and we have had to adapt to technological advances. However, one thing has been constant over this time, our commitment to our customers, our communities, and our people.
OUR TEAM
Highly experienced and dedicated global and regional management teams position Carmeuse as a leader in the industry, drive a strong spirit of service towards the customer, and stay the course to a promising future.
