Our Presence in North America
Our logistics network is a key differentiator that enables us to efficiently transport material from our plants to strategically located distribution centers, positioned to support modernization and infrastructure improvements in high-growth markets.
Our Story
VCNA began in 2001, as Votorantim Cimentos sought to expand its presence outside of Brazil with a focus on growth in the North American marketplace. The 2001 acquisition of St Marys Cement led to additional acquisitions throughout the 2000s, leading to what, today, is a unified portfolio of cement, ready-mixed concrete, aggregates and co-processing services providers.
