Cuatrecasas has advised Votorantim Cimentos, owner of the Cosmos cement plant in Córdoba, on signing an agreement with HeidelbergCement—one of the world’s leading integrated producers of building materials and solutions—to acquire all its business in Andalusia.

With the sale of these assets, which include an integrated cement plant in Málaga, and 3 aggregate sites and 11 ready-mix plants in the Andalusian region, Votorantim Cimentos strengthens its business in Spain and creates significant synergies with its existing assets.

The transaction remains subject to certain conditions, including approval by the Spanish regulatory authorities.
