Bulkcem Philippines is a wholly owned subsidiary of Holcim and its main business at present is the leasing of its bulk terminal located in Iloilo.

Mabini Grinding Mill Corp. meanwhile, leases its grinding station in Mabini, Batangas to Holcim.

It was incorporated and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 1999.

During last week’s meeting, Holcim’s board also approved the dissolution of Holcim’s retail arm HuBB Stores and Services Inc., Holcim’s Business Service Center and the company’s subsidiary WellBorne Group International.

These initiatives are part of Holcim’s streamlining efforts, the company said yesterday.

Holcim, one of the country’s biggest cement companies, has cement manufacturing facilities in La Union, Bulacan, Batangas, Misamis Oriental and Davao.

It also has aggregates and dry mix business and technical support facilities for building solutions.
