Italy: Buzzi’s cement and clinker sales volumes rose by 10% year-on-year to 7Mt in the first quarter of 2026, supported by consolidation of its operations in the UAE in May 2025. Consolidated sales declined by 1% year-on-year to €960m. On a like-for-like basis, it said that deliveries declined slightly due to weak European markets and adverse weather conditions, and ‘structural challenges’ in relevant markets. Volumes in the US increased due to increased demand from data centre and infrastructure projects. Brazil also recorded growth despite heavy rainfall in Minas Gerais. Buzzi said that the global economy recorded moderate growth in a context marked by high geopolitical uncertainty and persistent price volatility.
