Argentina: Belgium-based lime producer Carmeuse Group has acquired a controlling interest in Caleras San Juan (CSJ), an Argentinian lime producer with an installed production capacity exceeding 0.75Mt/yr. CSJ and affiliates are reportedly well positioned to meet growing demand for lime across Argentina and central Chile.
"This acquisition represents an important milestone in the execution of our long-term growth strategy in Latin America," said Sebastien Dossogne, CEO of Carmeuse. "It further reinforces Carmeuse's commitment to investing in attractive markets where we can create sustainable value for our customers, communities, employees and shareholders."
