Italcementi was an Italian multinational company producing cement, ready-mix concrete and construction aggregates, founded in 1864 in Bergamo. With an annual cement production capacity of more than 60 million tonnes, it was the world’s fifth-largest cement producer.
The company was listed on the Borsa Italiana until 2016, when it became part of the German group HeidelbergCement (later renamed Heidelberg Materials) following the acquisition of a majority stake. Together, the two companies formed the world’s second-largest cement producer[1].
In November 2023, the Italcementi brand was discontinued as part of the group’s global rebranding, and its activities in Italy continued under the name Heidelberg Materials Italy[2][3].
