Russia: Eurocement has changed its name to Cemros. The rebranding exercise followed an internal staff competition to come up with a new name followed by a vote from a shortlist. The new name is intended to invoke the words ‘cement’ and ‘Russia.’ It was suggested by Evgeny Lukanovsky, Alexey Lotarev and Igor Efimov.
Eurocement was acquired by Smikom in 2021 for around US$2.2bn following an auction held by Sberbank.
