Carrying its operational strength into both growth and profitability in 2025, Çimsa increased its revenue in real terms by 25% to TRY 45.9 billion, and raised its EBITDA by 13% in real terms to TRY 8.2 billion.
Continuing to translate its operational strength into financial results, Çimsa, a subsidiary of the Sabancı Group, announced its results for 2025. Increasing its sales to TRY 45.9 billion with a 25% rise last year, Çimsa thus exceeded the USD 1.1 billion revenue. While increasing its sales through product, customer, and geographic diversification, Çimsa raised its EBITDA to TRY 8.2 billion in 2025 with a 13% increase. Çimsa’s net profit for 2025 was realized at TRY 3.8 billion.
OUR FOCUS ON SUSTAINABLE GROWTH CONTINUES
Commenting on the matter, Çimsa Chairman of the Board Umut Zenar stated that despite all developments that have made the operating environment more challenging in Türkiye and around the world, Çimsa delivered a performance above the budgets set at the beginning of the year, saying: “As we carry Çimsa into the future, we have two priorities. The first is to protect and strengthen our profitability and balance sheet quality, and to create opportunities for our future new investments. The second is to benefit our customers with our value-added products and solutions. 2025 was a year in which we strengthened both of these strategic approaches. Despite the ongoing intensive investment period, with improvements both in EBITDA and in our debt multiple, we demonstrated our focus on profitable growth by ensuring growth on the one hand and financial sustainability on the other.”
“Strong contribution from the expanding product portfolio and growing trading operations”
Reminding that they saw the full annual impact of Mannok—acquired by Çimsa in 2024—for the first time in the 2025 financial statements, Umut Zenar said the following:
“Mannok is a structure that generates an EBITDA margin of approximately 20% on an annual basis and is cited as a benchmark among facilities in Europe with its operational efficiency. In addition, thanks to the diversified product portfolio that Mannok has brought to our company, we have received a significant contribution to our financials from non-cement building materials areas such as insulation and packaging. Taken together, Mannok has once again demonstrated how important an investment it is in Çimsa’s profitable growth strategy and in its vision of transforming into a building materials company.”
“OUR CAC INVESTMENT IN TÜRKİYE WILL BE COMMISSIONED IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR”
Emphasizing that they continued their investments in Türkiye and abroad in 2025, Umut Zenar said:
“Especially with our gray cement investment in the U.S., which we commissioned in the last quarter of 2025, we increased our effectiveness in the market. We are now a local producer in the U.S. in both white and gray cement. At the same time, we continue our investments in Türkiye with determination. While on the one hand we are turning our existing facilities into benchmark plants in their fields worldwide through sustainability- and efficiency-focused investments, on the other hand we are taking steps that will expand Çimsa’s value-added product portfolio and increase our global footprint in this area. Today, we are the only producer in our country in CAC, which serves as a bridge in the transition from cement to building materials and is one of the most important examples of material transformation in our sector. With the completion of our additional CAC investment currently ongoing in Mersin in the first half of this year, we will have a capacity capable of meeting approximately 20% of global CAC consumption in markets excluding China. In addition, through our Mersin plant, we export white cement to nearly 80 countries around the world, thereby contributing to our country’s value-added export drive.”
Adding that in addition to their investments they continuously develop Çimsa’s product portfolio with a focus on building materials, Umut Zenar said:
“Through Kratos construction strengthening solutions, which we added to our portfolio over the past year, we strengthened our product range in the building materials field with high-technology synthetic fiber products. We offer these value-added products—developed and manufactured in Türkiye—to global markets through our worldwide sales network spanning nearly 80 countries. At Çimsa, we view innovation not merely as a research activity, but as a value chain extending from design to product. This business culture enables us to develop solutions that address real needs. In line with this approach, our Flycrete product, developed by our own engineers at Formülhane, enables areas exposed to heavy loads, such as airport runways, to be repaired within just 3 hours and made ready again for aircraft landings. On the other hand, Rapidome, which combines 3D technology with Çimsa’s specially formulated white concrete, builds the structures of the future in just 48 hours.”
