Headquartered in Casale Monferrato, it operates as the parent entity overseeing a global network of subsidiaries across 14 countries, including Italy, the United States, Germany, Mexico, Brazil, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, and the Czech Republic, employing around 10,000 people. Formed in 1999 through the merger of historic firms Fratelli Buzzi Cementi (founded 1907) and Unicem (roots in 1872), it expanded significantly via acquisitions like Germany's Dyckerhoff in 2004 and full control of Brazil's BCPAR by 2024, while divesting assets such as its Ukraine operations. In Italy alone, through Buzzi Unicem S.r.l., it manages 8 cement plants, 3 grinding facilities, and 109 ready-mix plants, producing about 11 million tons of cement annually and ranking as the second-largest player domestically. Buzzi S.p.A. emphasizes sustainable practices, process innovation, and high-quality products, playing a key role in the global construction materials sector with a focus on efficiency and environmental responsibility. Renamed from Buzzi Unicem in 2023, it maintains family-controlled stable ownership.
