What Mizu Cimentos does
Mizu Cimentos is a Brazilian cement manufacturer founded in 1998 and operating as a subsidiary of the Polimix Organization (legal entity Polimix Concreto Ltda, CNPJ 29.067.113/0001-96). The company produces a full portfolio of special cements — CP II E/F/Z, CP III, CP IV, and CP V ARI variants — plus mineral-addition products (MIZUPLUS, MIZUPLUSMAX) and a high-performance concrete additive (MPW). Core technology centers on low-carbon cement production: average CO2 emissions of 503 kg per ton versus the 580 kg global average, 38% mineral additions (vs 20% global average), 100% renewable electrical energy across the production process, and licensed coprocessing of industrial waste, biomass, and tires in clinker kilns at an average 15% petroleum-coke substitution rate (rising to 35% at the upgraded Baraúna plant). Mizu positions itself as 'The Ecological Cement' and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification across multiple units plus the ABCP quality seal.
The business model is direct B2B sales of bulk and bagged cement, executed through 12 manufacturing factories and roughly 15 distribution centers spanning 13 Brazilian states, with an installed capacity of 7-8 million tons per year. Customer segments span the construction value chain: concrete producers, construction companies, building material retailers, mortar factories, and cement artifact industries, served via direct factory sales teams and a regional distribution-center network (no public pricing; quotes handled through local offices). Recent expansion has added the Ananindeua/PA unit in 2023 (R$250M, 500,000 tons/year) and the Nossa Senhora do Socorro/SE unit in 2024 (R$600M, 1 million tons/year), plus integration of Cimento Bravo in Maranhão in 2024, signaling deliberate expansion into North and Northeast Brazilian markets under a privately held conglomerate parent that reinvests permanently without external capital raises.
