Cementir Holding has confirmed that its Aalborg Portland Holding subsidiary jointly submitted a binding offer with Votorantim Cimentos for the potential acquisition of CSN Cimentos.

However, Cementir said the offer expired without being accepted by seller Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN). As of 9 September 2026, neither Cementir, Aalborg Portland Holding nor any other Cementir group company had entered into a binding agreement or made any commitment concerning the Brazilian cement producer.

The clarification followed recent media reports concerning developments in the competitive sale process launched by CSN.
