Holcim Ltd. is acquiring part of James Hardie Industries Plc’s European business for just under €840 million ($981 million), according to an announcement from the company.

Swiss building ‌materials supplier Holcim  reported better-than-expected second-quarter figures and upgraded its full-year guidance on Friday, saying it was seeing more new housing projects starting up.

Holcim will list shares in its North American business on the SIX Swiss stock exchange in addition to the planned New York flotation when it is spun off to shareholders next year, the Swiss building materials maker said on Friday.
