Brazil: Brazilian steelmaker CSN is considering a merger with its cement producing subsidiary CSN Cimentos. CSN said that it would present the proposal to shareholders for approval.

The merger would help CSN achieve synergies and economies of scale. It would result in 'process optimisation and maximised results,' with all business and administrative activities carried out via a 'single organisational structure,' according to CSN. The merger would cost US$544,758 and be effective from 1 May 2015.

CSN entered the cement market in 2009 and claims to have 2.4Mt/yr of production capacity. Its 2014 capex was US$705m, with 23% directed toward cement operations, which generated 3% of the company's revenue in the year. Its cement sales increased by 7% to 2.18Mt in 2014.
