Holcim, a global leader in innovative and sustainable construction solutions, enters the Peruvian construction market with the acquisition of 100 % of the shares and operations of the companies Comacsa (Compañía Minera Agregados Calcareos SA) and Mixercon; both successful Peruvian companies in the construction industry in the country.
Holcim invested a total of 100 million dollars for both companies. These acquisitions are aligned with the Group's global strategy and reaffirm Holcim's commitment to growth in Latin America, where in recent years it has strengthened its presence and operational capacity in the markets of Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, Nicaragua and Guatemala.
Comacsa is the main producer of industrial minerals and white Portland cement in Peru, with more than 75 years of experience and a solid position in both national and international markets and a pillar company for the industrial development of the country since it serves other sectors such as paints, glass, construction, oil, agriculture, livestock, adhesives, among others.
Mixercon is a recognized leading company in the production, marketing and supply of cement and ready-mix concrete, founded in 2001, with a presence throughout the country.
The acquired companies will operate independently, maintaining their brands and reporting directly to Holcim Peru. The more than 650 employees of both companies will also be retained, relying on the existing talent in these organizations.
Holcim Peru will begin operations with its own structure under the leadership of Norberto Ledea, whose mission is to maintain the leadership of both companies, identify and develop growth opportunities and consolidate the operation.
This acquisition is aligned with the company’s “Strategy 2025 – Accelerate sustainable growth” as it represents the expansion of the business in Latin America through the development of value-added solutions and products.
