About Us
OUR HISTORY
A HISTORY OF STRENGTH, INNOVATION, AND COMMITMENT
Founded in Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais, Cimento Nacional was created with the purpose of delivering more than cement: delivering trust. Since then, we have built a journey defined by solid growth, innovation, and a strong commitment to sustainable development. We expanded our presence with the opening of our Pitimbu, Paraíba plant, strengthening our operations in Brazil’s Northeast region and enhancing our distribution network.
Today, we are the fourth-largest cement producer in Brazil, with five manufacturing plants, one grinding unit, and four strategically located Distribution Centers, ensuring operational efficiency and close support for our customers across the country.
Our growth reflects our commitment to quality, innovation, and creating a positive impact. We continue to invest in initiatives that combine advanced technology with environmental responsibility, helping reduce impacts while promoting more balanced and sustainable development.
In 2024, we reached another important milestone by becoming part of the Buzzi Group, an Italian multinational operating in 15 countries and a global leader in the cement industry. This partnership has strengthened our ability to innovate, expanded access to advanced technologies, and further elevated our quality standards, reinforcing our leading position in the Brazilian market.
Built on solid foundations and focused on the future, we remain guided by our purpose: to support the development of society.
