- Buzzi S.p.A., formerly known as Buzzi Unicem S.p.A., is an Italian multinational company engaged in the manufacture, distribution, and sale of cement, ready-mix concrete, and natural aggregates. Headquartered in Casale Monferrato, Italy, the company operates through a network of cement plants, grinding facilities, and terminals primarily in Italy, Central Europe (including Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands), Eastern Europe (covering Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, and Russia), the United States, Mexico, and Brazil. Founded in 1872, Buzzi S.p.A. serves a diverse range of customers including ready-mix concrete businesses, highway and airport paving firms, concrete block companies, and other concrete product firms. Its main products include Portland and masonry cement, ready-mix concrete, and natural aggregates, produced at state-of-the-art facilities.
Recent major developments include the company's name change from Buzzi Unicem S.p.A. to Buzzi S.p.A. in 2023, reflecting a corporate restructuring that established Buzzi Unicem Srl as the Italian operational subsidiary while positioning the parent company as the coordinator of all subsidiaries globally. In 2024, Buzzi S.p.A. fully acquired the remaining 50% stake in its Brazilian joint venture NCPAR, thereby consolidating its presence in Brazil's construction materials market. The company also completed the divestiture of its Ukrainian assets to CRH in 2024 and expanded its strategic partnership with Alpacem, increasing its stake in Alpacem Zement Austria GmbH and extending cooperation in the Alpe-Adria region. Buzzi continues to innovate in sustainable construction materials, exemplified by the launch of its CGreen product line of CO2-efficient cements in Italy and Germany and the ongoing trials of cutting-edge carbon capture technology at its Monselice cement plant in partnership with UK-based Nuada. Additionally, Buzzi has initiated rail-based transport of slag in cooperation with Mercitalia Rail, reflecting efforts to improve operational efficiency and sustainability.
Buzzi S.p.A. maintains a strong focus on long-term value creation and sustainability across its operations in 14 countries, investing in production capacity enhancements and environmental innovation to meet evolving market demands and regulatory requirements. The company leverages its global operational scale and technical expertise to maintain its position as a leading player in the cement and concrete industry internationally.
