Italcementi Group profile
With an annual production capacity of more than 60 million tons and 46 cement plants Italcementi Group is the world’s fifth largest cement producer.
Along with the cement plants, Italcementi Group’s industrial network includes 12 grinding centers, 
6 trading terminals, 420 concrete batching units combining the expertise, know- how 
and cultures of 22 countries across four continents.
In 2013 the Group reported consolidated revenues of more than 4.2 billion Euro.
The Parent Company, Italcementi S.p.A., is one of Italy’s 10 largest industrial companies 
and is listed on the Italian Stock Exchange.
Italcementi, founded in 1864, achieved important international status with the take-over 
of Ciments Français in 1992.
Following a period of re-organisation and integration that culminates in the adoption of a single corporate identity for all Group subsidiaries, the newly-born Italcementi Group began to diversify geographically through a series of acquisitions in emerging countries such as Bulgaria, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Thailand and India, as well as operating in North America. As part of the plan to further enhance its presence in the Mediterranean area, in 2005 the Group boosted its investments in Egypt becoming one of the market leaders. In 2007 it further strengthened its presence in Asia and the Middle East.

As a member of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD
Italcementi Group has signed the Cement Sustainability Initiative’s Agenda for Action
the first formal commitment that binds a number of world cement industry leaders. Moreover, Italcementi has adhered to the Global Compact, a strategic initiative promoted 
by the United Nations to align companies operations and plans with universally accepted principles 
in the areas of human rights, working conditions, environment and ethics.
Through the activities of i.lab, the Research and Innovation Centre rated Leed Platinum and designed by American arch. Richard Meier, the Group intends to anticipate market trends and requirements promoting the concept of sustainable construction.
The Group has recently launched i.nova, the innovative market approach based on 11 families 
of performance through which Italcementi Group aims to offer its leadership in innovation to the building community.
In 2013 Italcementi established the international award arcVision Prize - Women and Architecture, which aims at promoting the designers who best interpret the role of the architect through significant civil, residential and services construction projects, particularly in the social field.
