What Loma Negra does
Loma Negra Compañía Industrial Argentina S.A. is Argentina's largest cement producer, founded in 1926 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, holding approximately 45% of the domestic cement market. The company manufactures and distributes a vertically integrated portfolio of cement, lime, masonry cement (Plasticor), ready-mix concrete (Lomax), and aggregates (La Preferida quarry) across six cement plants and three distribution/logistics sites. It also operates Recycomb, a wholly-owned subsidiary that converts industrial waste into Recyfuel alternative fuel for use in clinker kilns, materially reducing fossil-fuel dependence and supporting a 22% reduction in CO2e emissions and 21% reduction in water extraction reported in its 2025 Sustainability Report.
The company distributes through a sales-led model via 11 logistics centers and 584 sale offices nationwide under the Lomaser C&F delivery network, with direct sales to registered customers managed by assigned commercial managers. Customer engagement is supported by the LomaNet digital portal (order scheduling, invoicing, electronic delivery requests), the Loma Atiende support center (telephone and WhatsApp "Expertito" bot), and a dedicated Technical Center providing specialized concrete consultancy. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated through distributor customers and builders' yards.
Loma Negra is listed on the NYSE (LOMA) and Argentina's BYMA exchange and is a subsidiary of InterCement. In April 2026, Argentine energy mogul Marcelo Mindlin led a $1.8 billion debt-for-equity restructuring of InterCement, leaving the parent with ~$450 million in debt and no maturities until 2031, providing a stabilized capital structure. Q1 2026 revenue of approximately US$154 million beat analyst forecasts by 56%, with adjusted EBITDA margin expanding 528 basis points sequentially to 24.9%, against a backdrop of Argentine macroeconomic reform under the Milei administration.
