Cement firm Holcim Philippines Inc. on Tuesday said it has appointed Romanian Horia Adrian as the new president and CEO of the company effective March 1.
Adrian replaces John Stull, an American who led Holcim Philippines for 3 years and will be pursuing another role within the LafargeHolcim Group.

“It is an honor to be appointed as the new President and CEO of Holcim Philippines. The business in the Philippines is a significant contributor to the LafargeHolcim Group and it is truly exciting to continue the remarkable work done under John’s leadership,” Adrian said.
“It has been a privilege to have worked with the men and women of Holcim Philippines that showed resilience and dedication to grow the company amid the challenges. I am truly grateful for the support given. The focus on Health, Cash and Cost strengthens the company’s position to ensure a strong comeback and capture the growth and opportunities ahead. I wish Horia and the organization all the best,” Stull said.
