一位Fletcher建筑發言人表示“如果有機會，我們當然會考慮”
澳大利亞財經評論近日報道，為償付其收購英國競爭對手漢森（Hanson）所背負的債務，德國水泥制造商海德堡水泥目前正考慮出售其價值20億澳元（合15億美元）的澳大利亞業務。
商業日報說海德堡水泥已經委托顧問出售。它說幾個潛在的投標人已對該報證實，德意志銀行已通知它們此次可能的出售，但德意志銀行稱海德堡水泥還沒有最后決定。
潛在的投標人可能包括建筑材料集團Boral公司，Fletcher 建筑公司和Adelaide Brighton公司。
一位Fletcher 建筑發言人表示：“如果有機會，我們當然會考慮”。
而Boral和Adelaide發言人沒有立即對此報道發表評論。
商業日報還表示，私有股份投資企業也可能對購買感興趣，如凱雷集團，德州太平洋集團和Kohlberg Krvais Roberts。
據公司網站內容，海德堡水泥的漢森業務在澳大利亞經營超過240個混凝土廠，60多個采石場和三個位于悉尼的生產預制產品的工廠。
去年，墨西哥的世界第三大水泥制造商Cemex試圖出售其在澳大利亞的Humes混凝土管業務，該業務估價約4億澳元，但并沒有賣上這個價錢。

HeidelbergCement may sell Australian Hanson business
The business daily said HeidelbergCement had appointed advisers for a sale.
It said several potential bidders had confirmed to the newspaper that they had been alerted to a possible sale by Deutsche Bank, but that the investment bank had said no final decision had been made by HeidelbergCement yet.
Potential bidders could include building materials groups Boral Ltd, Fletcher Building Ltd. and Adelaide Brighton Ltd.
"We would certainly have a look if we were given the chance," a Fletcher Building spokesman said.
Boral and Adelaide spokesmen were not immediately available to comment on the report.
Private equity players such as Carlyle Group, Texas Pacific Group and Kohlberg Krvais Roberts were also likely to be interested, the newspaper said.
HeidelbergCement's Hanson business in Australia operates more than 240 concrete plants, more than 60 quarries and three factories in Sydney that make precast products, according to its web site.
Last year, Mexico's Cemex , the world's no.3 cement producer, tried to sell its Humes concrete pipes business in Australia, considered worth around A$400 million, but was unable to get what it considered a fair price. ($1=1.307 Australian Dollar).
