Votorantim Cimentos will plans to add 15Mta to its global production capacity, which will grow to 57Mta, up from the current 42Mt.
According to Raul Calfat, the managing director of Votorantim Industrial, this expansion will allow the Group to "create value through operating excellence and logistics based on a replicable management system, attracting and developing talent and socioenvironmental responsibility."
The company will also receive 3670 employees and have an increase of €778m in net income, and get €152m in EBITDA.
