Gulf Cement Company joins multinational corporation Buzzi

Gulf Cement Company (GCC), a cornerstone of the UAE’s industrial landscape for nearly five decades, has been integrated into Buzzi, an international leader in cement and heavy construction materials headquartered in Italy.

The milestone will be celebrated today with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at The Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah, attended by senior executives from both companies, including Pietro Buzzi, CEO of Buzzi, and José B. Sena, CEO and Managing Director of Gulf Cement Company and business partner, alongside key regional stakeholders and dignitaries. The event marks a transformative chapter for GCC, one that strengthens its commitment to innovation, sustainability and global competitiveness.

High-quality cement products

Founded in 1977, Gulf Cement Company has long been a driving force in the UAE’s infrastructure development, producing high-quality cement products and pioneering environmental initiatives such as waste heat recovery systems and carbon emission reduction programmes. As part of Buzzi, GCC will now leverage the global expertise, cutting-edge technologies, and strategic vision to enhance operational excellence and expand its footprint across international markets.

“This integration is not just a business transaction; it represents a strategic alignment of shared values, innovation, and long-term growth,” said Buzzi. “We are delighted to welcome Gulf Cement into our family and look forward to building a stronger, more sustainable future together.”

“This partnership represents a defining moment for Gulf Cement Company,” said Sena. “We have successfully aligned international expertise with regional strength, paving the way for a new era of industrial excellence and growth.”

This move underscores Buzzi’s commitment to strengthening its presence in the Middle East, one of the world’s most dynamic growth markets for construction and infrastructure.

GCC is one of the largest cement producers in the UAE, known for its commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation. With a legacy of 48 years, GCC continues to be a vital contributor to the region’s economic and industrial development.
