CEMENTO ANDINO S.A.

What CEMENTO ANDINO S.A. does

Cemento Andino S.A. is a Peruvian cement manufacturer founded in 1956, operating as a subsidiary of UNACEM, the conglomerate formed in 2012 through the merger of Cementos Lima and Cemento Andino. The company produces a specialized line of cement products — Premium, Forte, Ultra, and Tipo V — manufactured at its Condorcocha plant located at 3,950 meters above sea level in Tarma province, using limestone extracted from the Peruvian Andes. Products are formulated for distinct use cases: large-scale structural construction (Premium), mining and hydraulic works (Forte), marine and saline-soil environments (Ultra), and the most aggressive sulfate-rich conditions (Tipo V).

The company serves professional construction firms, individual home builders (maestros de obra), and specialized projects requiring sulfate- or moisture-resistant formulations. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales of bagged cement routed through the Progresol authorized distribution network across Peru; no direct digital commerce, mobile app, or API is operated. Customer engagement relies on content marketing — an educational blog for construction professionals, YouTube documentaries, Facebook, and the UNACEM Cantera training platform — rather than enterprise sales motions. No public financials are disclosed and the entity carries only 32 employees, consistent with its role as a manufacturing subsidiary within a larger parent group rather than a standalone operating company.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Cementos Pacasmayo: One of Peru's leading cement producers with a similar branded multi-product portfolio targeting general construction, mining, and infrastructure. It directly competes with Cemento Andino in the Peruvian cement market and serves comparable customer segments including construction professionals and home builders.
• Yura S.A. (Grupo Gloria): Peruvian cement and concrete producer operating in the southern Andean region with branded cement products (including Yura IP, Yura Tipo V). It competes directly with Cemento Andino in Peru, especially in mining and infrastructure segments requiring sulfate-resistant cement.
• Cementos Lima (UNACEM): Sister brand under UNACEM, produced and marketed separately from Cemento Andino. Both brands share the parent conglomerate but compete in the same Peruvian market with overlapping product positioning, making it the most structurally comparable peer for portfolio strategy and pricing dynamics.

Regional players

• Cemento Nacional (Ecuador): Ecuadorian cement manufacturer with branded specialty products serving the Andean construction market. Geographically distinct from Cemento Andino but comparable in scale, Andean raw material sourcing narrative, and product positioning for sulfate-resistant and general-purpose cements.
• Argos (Colombia): Major Colombian cement and concrete producer with operations across the Andean region. Comparable to Cemento Andino in cement manufacturing focus and emerging-market positioning, though it serves a different geography and broader product portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• Cemex Peru: Peruvian operations of multinational Cemex, offering cement, ready-mix concrete, and aggregates across Peru. Comparable to Cemento Andino in core cement manufacturing, but competes with a wider portfolio and global R&D resources in the same construction end-markets.
• Holcim Peru: Subsidiary of global cement giant Holcim, offering a broad cement and concrete portfolio across Peru. It serves the same construction customer base as Cemento Andino but operates as part of a much larger global incumbent with diversified product, aggregate, and concrete lines beyond Cemento Andino's cement-only focus.

Others

• UNACEM (parent): Peruvian cement conglomerate that owns both Cemento Andino and Cementos Lima. While not a competing brand, UNACEM as the parent entity is the most direct comparable for consolidated scale, plant footprint, and financial profile against which Cemento Andino's standalone performance must be assessed.
