CSN Cimentos issued a statement to the public last Tuesday evening (6) informing that it successfully concluded the acquisition of LafargeHolcim Brazil, now holding 100% control of the company. This announcement came almost a year after the start of negotiations when the cement company expressed interest in purchasing LafargeHolcim Brazil.
From now on, LafargeHolcim Brazil will be known as CSN Cimentos Brazil S.A. and will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSN Cimentos. This name change takes effect immediately. The transaction value was estimated at US$ 1.025 billion according to the first relevant fact. Thus, the amount to be paid is around R$ 5.2 billion at the current exchange rate.

In addition to high-quality limestone stocks and concrete units, the new factories, now owned by CSN, add a production capacity of 10.3 million tons of cement per year. As a result, CSN Cimentos has achieved the position of the second largest manufacturer of the product in Brazil, with a capacity of 16.3 MTPA, second only to Votorantim Cimentos. The new units involved in the billion-dollar deal are located in the Southeast, Northeast, and Central-West regions of the country.
