from steel plants . Another milestone was reached in 1992 , as IRI sold its controlling stake in Cementir to Caltagirone Group through an auction . Under new ownership , the company embarked on an organisational and production restructuring phase before starting its international expansion . The year 2001 marked Cementir ’ s first international acquisition , as the company purchased Çimentaş , a prominent Turkish company producing cement and ready-mix concrete . As per the Istanbul Stock exchange , Çimentaş presently operates four cement plants , boasting an annual cement capacity of 5.4 million tons . This represents a substantial increase from the two cement plants in Izmir and Kars that Cementir initially acquired from Çimentaş .
After many more years of acquisitions in the US , Denmark , Belgium , and Turkey , Cementir eventually divested from its original Italian cement and ready-mix business .
Starting from producing cement exclusively in Italy , Cementir has been through a transformative journey , evolving into a multinational group . To date , the company has invested an impressive total of 1.7 billion euros in its growth without any capital increase .
