Brazil: Buzzi has finalised the acquisition of the remaining 50% stake in Companhia Nacional de Cimentos (CNC) from Brennand Cimentos, securing full control over the joint venture. The deal, valued at US$311m, was approved by Brazil's Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE), according to Movimento Econômico. CNC has been operational since 2018 and has five integrated cement plants and two grinding plants in Brazil, with a total production capacity of 7.2Mt/yr. This acquisition follows initial transactions that began in June 2024.

Brazil: Brennand Group plans to invest around US$190m toward building a new cement plant at Ponta Grossa in Paraná state. A provisional building license has been awarded and the company is now waiting on further licenses before construction work can begin according to aRede. The new plant will be build by Brennand Group’s subsidiary Mineracao Delta do Paraná and the plant will operate under the Companhia de Cimento do Paraná (CPR) name.

Funding for plant will come from Brennand Group’s sale of a 50% stake in a subsidiary to Italy’s Buzzi Unicem in 2018.
