Cimsa Cimento

Cimsa Cimento Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. is a cement and building materials company affiliated with Sabanci Holding and headquartered in Mersin. Its shares trade on Borsa Istanbul under the ticker CIMSA. CIMSA stock is followed as an export-oriented building materials share because of the company's position in white cement and specialty cements.

The company's products comprise grey cement, white cement, calcium aluminate cement and value-added ready-mixed concrete solutions. Alongside its plants in Turkey, Cimsa Cementos in Spain and Mannok, a building materials company operating on the island of Ireland, form the group's international arm. Sabanci Holding has built its strategy in the building materials segment around Cimsa.

For cement producers, investors watch energy costs, domestic construction demand, white cement export prices, freight costs and carbon regulations. Foreign-currency earnings, which have grown through acquisitions abroad, change how exchange rate movements affect the company.
