Polish regulator fines cement companies for cartel

18 December 2013

Poland: The Court of Competition and Consumer Protection (SOKiK) has upheld a decision by the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) to fine seven cement companies for forming a cartel. However, the SOKiK lowered the total fine from Euro100m to Euro80m. According the UOKiK the cartel fixed prices and divided the Polish market among themselves for at least eleven years.

According to the UOKiK the cartel activities could have had negative consequences for the construction sector and had affected consumers. The cartel had almost 100% share of production and sale of grey cement in Poland.

During the investigation two cartel members decided to co-operate with the UOKiK in exchange for leniency. Therefore UOKiK decided not to fine Lafarge Cement and lowered the fine for Gorazdze Cement. The remaining five cartel members - Grupa Ozarow, Cemex Polska, Dyckerhoff Polska, Cementownia Warta and Cementownia Odra - were fined to the full legal extent, 10% of annual turnover.

Contracts for Gebr. Pfeiffer in Indonesia and Germany

17 October 2013

Germany: Dyckerhoff AG's Palatine cement plant in Göllheim, Germany has been operating an MPS 140 K mill for coal since 1983 and an old-style static classifer. As modern coal firing systems require a finer product quality, the customer has decided to purchase a high-efficiency SLS 1120 BK classifier from Gebr. Pfeiffer SE. The classifier is guaranteed to separate the material to a fineness of 3% R 90µm. It will be installed in mid February 2014.

 

Indonesia: Gebr. Pfeiffer SE, the German vertical roller mill manufacturer, is to supply five vertical roller mills to Indonesia's booming cement market.

China's Sinoma International Engineering Co. Ltd., acting as the general contractor for PT Cemindo Gemilang's new 10,000t/day cement production line in Bayah, Java, has ordered two MPS 5300 B vertical roller mills for raw material grinding, two MPS 5300 BC vertical roller mills for cement grinding and an MPS 4500 BK vertical roller mill for coal grinding.

The MPS raw mills are designed to achieve a capacity of 400t/hr each. The throughput rate of the cement mills will be 220t/hr each and the coal mill yielding 100t/hr will be the world's largest vertical roller mill to date for coal grinding.

The order includes the supply of workshop drawings to enable the local manufacture of the mill components and the supervision of manufacture at Chinese workshops. Erection and commissioning will be supervised by staff from Gebr. Pfeiffer. Delivery is slated for the third quarter of 2014.

Dyckerhoff sales fall by 11% to Euro256m in first quarter of 2013

08 May 2013

Germany: Dyckerhoff Group's sales fell by 11% year-on-year to Euro256m in the first quarter of 2013, from Euro289m in the same period in 2012. The group attributed the fall to harsh weather conditions. Exceptions to the decline were reported in Russia and the US where sales rose and remained stable respectively.

Group loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) decreased to Euro9m in the first quarter of 2013 from Euro0m in the same quarter in 2012.

"For 2013 as a whole, we continue expecting group sales and EBITDA at a similar level to 2012", commented Wolfgang Bauer, CEO of Dyckerhoff AG. He based his prediction on the assumption that the weather-related volume decreases of the first quarter could be caught up.

Dyckerhoff Group sales hold steady at Euro1.6bn in 2012

06 February 2013

Germany: The Dyckerhoff Group has reported that its sales in 2012 met its 'expectations'. Preliminary sales were Euro1.6bn in 2012, the same as in 2011.

Cement and concrete volumes decreased by a total of 2% and 7%, respectively. Cement prices were higher than the previous year in Germany, Ukraine, Russia, and the USA, fairly stable in the Czech Republic and on a downward trend in Luxembourg and Poland. The sales proportion generated outside of Germany, 63%, exceeded the 2011 by 1%.

"As expected, Dyckerhoff Group's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for the fiscal year 2012 will be at a similar level as in the previous year. Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) as well as results before and after taxes will be below the previous year's level. Here, an impairment of around Euro26m against the carrying amount of fixed assets already acquired for the planned plant in Akbulak in Russia has an effect," said Wolfgang Bauer, CEO of Dyckerhoff.

Bauer added that the result after income taxes was affected by a write-down of deferred tax assets of around Euro13m.

Italy/Germany: German cement maker Dyckerhoff has announced that its parent company, Italy's Buzzi Unicem, has agreed to buy additional ordinary and preferred shares in it, raising its total share capital in the firm by 3.6% to 96.6%.

As a shareholder of at least 95% of Dyckerhoff, Buzzi Unicem is entitled, under the German law, to start a 'squeeze-out' procedure for the remaining shares that it does not already own. However, it has not yet made any final decision on such a move, according to Dyckerhoff.

Cement Hranice sees 2011 sales rise by 14.5%

12 September 2012

Czech Republic: Czech cement producer Cement Hranice has reported a rise in sales of 14.5% year-on-year to Euro68.8m in 2011, due to higher exports. Its net profit increased by 10% to Euro20.3m following a previous drop, the company said in its annual report.

In 2010 the producer's sales dropped by 15% to Euro60.4m and its profit decreased by 26% to Euro18.5m. Cement Hranice's results improved in 2011 due to supplies to a sister company in Poland, according to the firm's chairman Jaromir Chmela. Sales of cement were also favourably influenced by good weather in 2011. The company raised the amount of sold products by 25% in 2011 as a result.

"Poland has not been affected by a crisis in the construction segment because it was preparing infrastructure for the European football championship," said Chmela.

Although Cement Hranice's sales increased in 2011, revenue fell due to a decrease in prices. Before 2011 the company sold 75% to 80% of its production on the Czech market but in 2011 its share dropped to 65%. The remaining 35% of production was exported to Poland, Hungary and Slovakia, increasing Cement Hranice's exports.

Cement Hranice's expects a drop in sales, as well as in profit, in 2012. The company's results will be influenced by the economic crisis and a continuing fall in construction output, according to Chmela. Cement Hranice, whose owner is German company Dyckerhoff AG, employed 166 people in 2011.
