The cement industry in Argentina comprises several key competitors, including LafargeHolcim, which acquired Argentine producers Juan Minetti S.A. and Corcemar S.A. Other notable producers are Cementos Avellaneda S.A., controlled by Cementos Molins, S.A. and Votorantim Cimentos S.A., and Petroquímica Comodoro Rivadavia S.A. (PCR). Due to high transportation costs, companies typically compete within regions near their production facilities. Holcim Argentina S.A. has a strong market presence in the provinces of Córdoba, Mendoza, and Jujuy, and expanded its Malagueño plant in Córdoba. Cementos Avellaneda expanded its El Gigante plant in San Luis province in late 2020. One Argentine cement company maintains production facilities across multiple regions with nationwide reach, particularly focusing on the Province of Buenos Aires. In December 2021, this company inaugurated a second production line at its L’Amalí plant, increasing capacity by approximately 3 million tons annually, making it one of the largest cement plants in South America.
