We are a global company acting for the long term.

E​verything worthwhile should last. And it should last a long time. Our history, our products, our people and our investments build our foundation.​​​

Each product we manufacture is part of something made to last  - be it the cement for a dam, the concrete for a viaduct, the gravel for a road or the mortar that will be used to put the finishing touches​ on your home.​​​​
Permanence is at the heart of what we do – and this is true for both our products and our relationships.
We are committed to building long-term partnerships with customers, suppliers, employees and with the communities where we operate.​
Our history began in Brazil in 1933, with a cement factory in the state of São Paulo.
Since then, we have built more factories, expanded our operations, won over new markets and today we are among the biggest companies in the building materials sector worldwide.​

Our head office is in Brazil and we have operations in another eleven countries in the Americas, in Europe, in Africa and in Asia.
We speak diverse languages, with many accents, but are united with one single voice, in one single team with a common goal: to be the building materials company committed to our customers' success through excellence.​

​For this reason, our actions are underpinned by four stra​tegic drivers:

 

Customer Focus

We believe in building lasting relationships. All company areas focus on improving customer service – and we develop innovative solutions and products together with these customers.

 

People​​

Operational Excellence

We continually monitor our performance and are obsessed with continuous improvement. We take decisions quickly, consistently and in a disciplined manner. We maximize productivity in all areas.

 

Sustainable Practices

We value life and, consequently, safety always comes first; we are compliant with the law; we promote eco-efficiency by means of innovative products, practices and relationships; we promote dialogue and relations with the communities of which we are part with a view to leaving a legacy far beyond our existence.
