Vicat buys majority stake in Ciplan

05 October 2018

Brazil: France’s Vicat Group has acquired a majority share in Cimento Planalto (Ciplan). It has signed a binding agreement to buy a 65% share for Euro290m through a reserved capital increase. Ciplan will use the proceeds of the share to settle the ‘vast majority’ of its existing debt. Vicat noted that the transaction will be debt funded and its closing is subject to the fulfilment of ‘certain’ conditions.

Ciplan operates a 3.2Mt/yr integrated plant at Sobradinho in Bahia near to Brasilia. It also runs nine ready-mixed concrete plants and five aggregates quarries.

Vicat says that this acquisition is intended to support its targeted external growth and geographical diversification strategy. In order to ‘capture’ the Brazilian market the company plans to leverage an industrial asset base, strong brand awareness, abundant quarry reserves and a competitive position in its local markets.
