Çimsa Cementos

Çimsa, a subsidiary of Sabancı Holding, was founded in Mersin in 1972. Today, the company operates four integrated production plants in Türkiye, located in Mersin, Eskişehir, and Afyonkarahisar. In addition to producing grey cement, Çimsa leads the Turkish cement and building materials sector in innovation, offering specialized products such as white cement and CAC.

Çimsa, one of the world’s foremost brands in white cement and one of the world’s top three producers of CAC with the latest investment completed in Mersin, manages its international operations through Cimsa Building Solutions BV.

Çimsa, which develops new technologies that shed light on the future of the building materials industry in Türkiye through its first R&D Center, Formula Center operates at the Mersin Plant. This is the only integrated facility in the world capable of producing grey cement, white cement, and CAC and has at the same time extended its innovation power to Europe through the Sabancı Technology Center located on the campus of the Technical University of Munich in Germany.

In line with the goal to become a leading global player in the white cement industry and to create a more efficient and stronger platform, Sabancı Holding and Çimsa integrated their operational and financial strengths and founded Çimsa Building Solutions BV in Holland.

Cimsa Building Solutions BV has emerged as a key player in the international white cement market, with a white cement production plant in Valencia, Spain, a grinding plant in Houston, USA, and terminals in Hamburg, Germany, Trieste, Italy, and Seville, Spain. Most recently, with the acquisition completed in October 2024, Ireland-based Mannok Holdings, which specializes in the production and sale of cement, cement-based products (such as tiles, precast materials, and concrete), insulation materials, and recycled plastic packaging, has been included in the Cimsa Building Solutions BV portfolio.
