The acquisition of Cerámica San Lorenzo and its two main brands, San Lorenzo and Cordillera, advances the internationalization of Grupo Lamosa’s production processes, which now encompass Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru, as well as Mexico. Important challenges need to be overcome in the short term: facing the increased complexity of operations, integrating different business cultures in order to take advantage of the best of each, and identifying synergies that can be leveraged.
However, the long-term benefits will be considerable, since this transaction gives the company a strategic and privileged position to satisfy ceramic product needs across the Americas, consolidating its market leadership position in the region. It also opens up opportunities for the Adhesives Business to grow as a natural complement to ceramic tiles.
The Adhesives Business also expanded significantly during the year, driven by the diversification and specialization of its product lines. To expand its production capacity, three new plants were built. These will begin operations at the beginning of 2017.
