Did you know2024
Votorantim Cimentos is a cement company, but its parent Votorantim Group also owns Nexa Resources — the world's fifth-largest zinc producer (Peru, Brazil, Mexico mines). Zinc is the metal that galvanizes the rebar and structural steel inside concrete buildings. Through one conglomerate, Votorantim simultaneously supplies the concrete matrix AND the corrosion-protective coating on the steel skeleton that holds the concrete together — two distinct supply chains in the construction sector controlled by one family-owned group that most observers know only as a cement company.
Nexa Resources ↗Origin2023
Votorantim Cimentos traces its roots to 1936, when Antonio Erminio de Moraes began quarrying limestone in the interior of Sao Paulo state. The Votorantim Group grew by reinvesting quarry revenues into smelting and paper mills alongside cement, eventually becoming one of Brazil's largest industrial conglomerates with holdings across cement, zinc, aluminum, orange juice, and banking.
