CEMENTOS PACASMAYO SAA Business Summary

Cementos Pacasmayo SAA (CPAC) is the dominant provider of construction solutions in Northern Peru, operating a vertically integrated business model that generates revenue primarily through the production and sale of bagged and bulk cement, which constitutes approximately 85% of its total sales. The company’s diversified revenue streams also include ready-mix concrete, precast materials, and quicklime, the latter specifically serving the Peruvian mining industry. As of February 2026, the firm is in the final stages of a landmark ownership transition following the December 2025 agreement for global leader Holcim Ltd. to acquire a 50.01% controlling stake from Inversiones Aspi S.A. for approximately $1.4 billion. CPAC maintains a regional monopoly in Northern Peru, strategically positioning itself against national competitors such as UNACEM, Cementos Yura, and Caliza Cemento Inca through its extensive "DINO" retail distribution network and its recent US$70 million capacity expansion at the Pacasmayo plant. Founded in 1949 by Luis Hochschild Plaut, the company remains under the strategic oversight of Chairman Eduardo Hochschild Beeck. The executive leadership is led by CEO Humberto Nadal del Carpio, a Georgetown MBA who has served as chief executive since 2011 and is recognized for spearheading the company's digital and sustainable transformation. In April 2025, Ely Adriana Hayashi, an IE Business School alumna with nearly 20 years of experience at the firm, was appointed CFO to manage the financial integration with Holcim. Other key executives include Ibrahim Chahuán Riveros, Director of Building Solutions, and Inés Cillóniz, Managing Director of Innovation & Digital Transformation, who leads the company’s "Pacasmayo Digital" initiatives. The company is publicly traded on the Lima and New York Stock Exchanges, with significant institutional backing from entities such as BlackRock and local Peruvian pension funds (AFPs).
