Loma Negra Compañía Industrial Argentina S.A. is an Argentine building materials company that manufactures and distributes cement, masonry cement, lime, ready-mix concrete, and aggregates. The company sells to wholesale distributors, concrete producers, and industrial customers, and markets its products under the Loma Negra, Plasticor, Cacique Max, Loma Negra Plus, and Lomax brands. Beyond core cement production, Loma Negra operates a vertically integrated rail transportation business and recycles industrial waste into fuel and raw materials, supplying its own plants as well as third parties. Founded in 1926 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, the company listed on the NYSE in 2017 and operates as a subsidiary of Intercement Trading e Inversiones Argentina S.A.
As a player in the GICS Construction Materials sub-industry, Loma Negra benefits from the cement sectors high barriers to entry, driven by the capital intensity of clinker production and the logistical advantage of locating plants near limestone reserves and end markets. The use of alternative fuels derived from industrial waste is a common cost- and emissions-management practice in the cement industry, helping producers reduce reliance on traditional fossil fuels.
