This is this century’s biggest deal in the construction industry globally and is set to create a group with revenue of EUR30 billion annually.
“Marcel Cobuz is an integration project manager, being in charge of the pre-integration of Lafarge in the Lafarge-Holcim merger project. He coordinates the processes launched to prepare the integration of the two groups,” Sabine Wacquez, PR deputy head at Lafarge group.
Cobuz has worked with Lafarge for over a decade and a half, filling several positions in the company. He started his career at BNR and was one of the founders of the Bucharest Stock Exchange in the post-communist period.
We cannot specify the position of Marcel Cobuz in the new entity as the organizational structure of the future group has not been announced, yet, said Wacquez.
At Holcim as well, several Romanians have come to fill top management positions. These include Horia Adrian, area manager for Eastern and Southeastern Europe, or Claudiu Soare, CEO of the group’s Serbian subsidiary.
