- Loma Negra Compañía Industrial Argentina Sociedad Anónima is a vertically integrated industrial company that manufactures, distributes, and markets cement, masonry cement, lime, concrete, and aggregates, while providing freight rail transportation and industrial waste recycling services in Argentina. Founded in 1926 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the company operates primarily across the construction materials and building products sectors, supplying wholesale distributors, construction contractors, industrial developers, and public infrastructure projects nationwide. Loma Negra structures its operations across five main business segments: Cement, Masonry Cement, and Lime, which encompasses the extraction of limestone and mineral reserves alongside the manufacturing of bulk and bagged Portland cement, composite cement, masonry binder, and hydrated lime marketed under brand names such as Loma Negra, Plasticor, Cacique Max, and Loma Negra Plus; Concrete, which manufactures and delivers specialized ready-mix concrete formulations through a dedicated fleet of mixer trucks under the Lomax brand; Aggregates, which quarries, crushes, and sells granitic stone and sand for road surfacing, asphalt paving, and civil construction; Railroad, operated through controlled subsidiary Ferrosur Roca S.A. via Cofesur S.A., which manages an extensive freight railway concession linking core production facilities in the Buenos Aires Province with metropolitan consumer centers and deepwater ports; and Others, conducted through subsidiary Recycomb S.A.U., which provides hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste treatment, blending, and co-processing services to supply alternative fuels and raw materials for cement kilns. In recent major developments, indirect controlling interest in Loma Negra transitioned following the completed corporate restructuring of its parent entity, InterCement Participações S.A., through which a consortium led by LATCEM, Redwood Capital Management, and Moneda Patria Investments assumed control of the equity, resulting in the appointment of Argentine businessman Marcelo Mindlin as Chairman of the Board and returning strategic management to local ownership. Concurrently, the company achieved the full operational integration and capacity ramp-up of the expanded production line at its flagship L'Amalí industrial facility in Olavarría, boosting aggregate clinker and finished cement production capacity while lowering thermal and electrical consumption through modernized industrial efficiencies.
