Holcim has acquired Compañía Minera Luren, a leading Peruvian producer of specialty building solutions with 377 employees. Compañía Minera Luren offers high-value building solutions to its customers with walling systems that combine energy-efficient insulation and speciality mortars. The acquisition of Compañía Minera Luren is expected to generate significant synergies in Peru and Latin America.
Oliver Osswald, Holcim Region Head Latin America, said: “The acquisition of Compañía Minera Luren will expand Holcim’s product portfolio while accelerating growth in Latin America. Compañía Minera Luren’s walling systems will advance Holcim’s ability to offer customers fully integrated end-to-end solutions from foundation and flooring to walling and roofing. I warmly welcome Compañía Minera Luren’s 377 employees into the Holcim family.”
Compañía Minera Luren, a family-owned business founded in 1956, produces walling systems and other specialty building materials, including minerals for industrial applications. Compañía Minera Luren’s product portfolio complements Holcim’s existing business in Peru.
