The Americas - 16 February 2010

Brazilian conglomerate Carmago Correa Group has acquired a 22.17% stake in Cimpor while CSN files antitrust complaint against Votorantim.

Things begin to look up for Ash Grove, Cemex Davenport closes and Holcim invests in clean energy.

Having failed to impress Cimpor with its original bid back in December, CSN has made an alternate offer.

Infrastructure Materials Corp. has announced the acquisition of Canadian Infrastructure Corp. (CIC), a privately-held company, which owns three cement grade limestone properties.
