About SigmaRoc
plc:
SigmaRoc is a quoted lime and
limestone group, targeting quarried materials assets in the UK and
Northern Europe.
Lime and limestone are key resources
in the transition to a more sustainable economy. New applications
for lime and limestone products as part of a drive for
sustainability include the production and recycling of lithium
batteries, the decarbonisation of construction including through
substitution of cementitious material and new building materials,
and environmental applications including lake liming, air pollution
and direct air capture.
SigmaRoc seeks to create value by
purchasing assets in fragmented materials markets and extracting
efficiencies through active management and by forming the assets
into larger groups. It seeks to de- risk its investments through
the selection of projects with strong asset backing.
