Holcim, which is set to merge with French peer Lafarge in 2015, has named Alain Bourguignon and Marc Soule members of the asset sale committee.

Bourguignon was so far in charge of Canada, UK and USA, while Soule was Lafarge's performance management director.

Roland Koehler, Holcim's director for continental Europe, will also take on the British market, while Andrea Leu, who is director for South America, will be in charge of Canada and USA. (Abstracted from an original article in Le Figaro).
