Buzzi Unicem

In 2004 the group acquired control of the German cement company Dyckerhoff (founded as Portland-Cement-Fabrik Dyckerhoff & Söhne in Amöneburg by Wilhelm Gustav Dyckerhoff and his sons in 1864). In March 2018, Buzzi Unicem acquired the German firm Portlandzementwerke Seibel & Söhne through the Dyckerhoff subsidiary. In September 2018, Buzzi Unicem revealed that it had acquired 50% of Brazil's BCPAR (owned by Grupo Ricardo Brannand), which includes two cement plants in the country, with an option to acquire the rest of the firm by 2025. This acquisition was made at a relatively low cost, likely at a loss for the seller, due to the precarious financial situation facing the Brazilian construction industry at the time. the company had sales in, at least, the Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, Ukraine, Mexico, Brazil and the United States. == Buzzi ==

The year 2023 was marked by the company’s name change from Buzzi Unicem SpA to Buzzi SpA, marking a new stage in the company's history. A change initiated at the beginning of the year with the revision of the corporate structure in Italy, which led to the establishment of Buzzi Unicem Srl, and aimed at more clearly identifying the role of the parent company as the legal entity responsible for the ownership, management and coordination of all Italian and foreign subsidiaries. In October 2024, the company completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% of NCPAR from Grupo Ricardo Brennand, consolidating its presence in Brazil, where it has operated since 2018. In the same year, Buzzi finalized the sale of its assets in Ukraine to CRH. ==References==
