Huaxin Cement Buys African Business From Brazil´s InterCement, Including Mozambique

 

China-based Huaxin Cement has agreed to buy the Africa-based business of Brazil´s InterCement for USD 265 million, including assets in Mozambique and South Africa.

The deal follows InterCement’s sale of its business in Egypt earlier in 2023 to an unnamed buyer. The company will use the latest proposed sale to reduce its debts.

The transaction will be subject to approval from regulators in China, Mozambique and South Africa. InterCement appointed JP Morgan as its financial advisor to the sale of its operations in Egypt, Mozambique and South Africa.
