News Akkerman Cement buys majority stake in Akhangarancement

Akkerman Cement buys majority stake in Akhangarancement

Uzbekistan: Russia-based Akkerman Cement has acquired a 98.6% stake in Akhangarancement. Gazprombank provided a loan to the subsidiary of USM to support the deal after previously supporting Akkerman Cement’s acquisition of its Gornozavodsk plant in 2018. Eurocement started selling its majority stake in Akhangarancement in early 2021 prior to its own acquisition by Smikom later in the year. No value for the latest Akkerman Cement deal has been disclosed.

“The investment in Akhangarancement, like all USM investments in Uzbekistan, is primarily aimed at the development of this country, the small homeland of Alisher Usmanov, the main shareholder of USM. All the profit that will be generated here will remain in Uzbekistan and will be directed to the socio-economic development of the republic. We see great potential in this. A growing population, demand for quality new housing, and in the long term support for consumer demand through mortgage lending, all this will contribute to the growth of cement consumption,” said Anton Selyavko, chairman of the board of directors of Akkerman Cement. He added that growth in Uzbekistan might not be easy due to production overcapacity and high levels of imports from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan but that Akkerman Cement had experience of this from the Russian market.

Founded in 2002 Akkerman Cement was previously known as the South Ural Mining and Processing Company. It operates two integrated cement plants in Russia, at 2.3Mt/yr unit at Novotroitsk and a 2Mt/yr unit at Gornozavodsk, and 12 terminals including sites at Ekaterinburg, Izhevsk, Kazan, Moscow, Orenburg, Perm, Samara, Tumen and Ufa. The company also runs metal and lime divisions. Akhangarancement reportedly started a new 2.5Mt/yr dry process production line in late 2021.
