Çimsa, a subsidiary of Sabancı Holding, has transformed from a “local cement company” into a “global construction materials company,” supplying value-added construction materials to 70 countries through its integrated production facilities in Turkey and Spain.
INTERCEM, one of the most prestigious events in the global construction materials bringing together over 500 industry professionals from around the world, has begun in Istanbul in collaboration with Turkish Cement. Running until September 12, this event features a strong presence from Turkish companies. Among them, Çimsa, which has reinforced its vision of becoming a “global construction materials company” through recent international investments, is participating in INTERCEM, showcasing its highly sought-after and innovative products, including gray cement, white cement, and special products, to industry stakeholders
“WE WILL FURTHER SOLIDIFY OUR TITLE AS TÜRKİYE’S GLOBAL CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS COMPANY”
Commenting on the event, Çimsa CEO Umut Zenar emphasized the company’s journey towards global expansion with a focus on innovation and sustainability: “In line with our global growth strategy, we are expanding our production facilities across various regions of the world while simultaneously establishing a distribution network that brings our products to new markets and customers. As we strengthen our global footprint, we are also implementing the best examples of sustainability and innovation on a global scale within our company. The culture we have built around this approach continually drives our motivation to develop, innovate, and lead the industry.”
Also highlighting that Çimsa now operates an international production network with three integrated facilities in Türkiye and the Bunol plant in Spain, he stated: “With these facilities, we are currently the world’s second-largest producer of white cement and the third-largest producer of calcium aluminate cement (CAC). Our white cement sales network, supported by strategically located terminals and long-term distributors, extends to over 70 countries. While doing this, we are also taking new steps to expand our production and sales network. With the commissioning of our gray cement grinding plant in the U.S., planned for 2025, and the acquisition of Mannok, following the recent signing of the share transfer agreement, Çimsa will become even more active in the U.S. and U.K. regions. All our facilities across the globe will work in synergy, following the latest technologies. These facilities will continue to serve as a bridge between Türkiye and the world, further solidifying our title as Türkiye’s global construction materials company.”
