Loma Negra Compañía Industrial Argentina Sociedad Anónima LOMA

Company Overview

Loma Negra Compañía Industrial Argentina Sociedad Anónima (“Loma Negra”) is one of Argentina’s largest building materials producers and a leading manufacturer of cement, concrete, and aggregates. The company operates primarily in the construction materials industry, supplying products used in residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. Its core revenue drivers are cement sales, masonry cement, lime, aggregates, and ready-mix concrete, with additional contributions from rail freight logistics and related services. Loma Negra serves construction companies, distributors, contractors, and public infrastructure projects across Argentina.

The company traces its origins to 1926, when it was founded by Alfredo Fortabat in Olavarría, Buenos Aires Province. Over several decades, Loma Negra expanded through industrial investments, plant development, and vertical integration across logistics and aggregates. In 2005, the company became part of the Brazilian industrial group InterCement, a subsidiary associated with the Camargo Corrêa conglomerate. Loma Negra later listed American Depositary Shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker LOMA. Its strategic positioning is supported by extensive production capacity, a nationwide distribution network, integrated logistics assets, and established market share in Argentina’s cement sector.
