Cementos Pacasmayo

Cementos Pacasmayo is a Peruvian cement and construction-materials company whose principal market is northern Peru. The company was founded by Luis Hochschild Plaut and developed around the production and distribution of cement for the region's construction industry. It is identified as the largest cement company in northern Peru and operates three cement plants located in Piura, Pacasmayo, and Rioja. Together, these facilities have reported annual cement capacity of approximately 4.9 million tonnes. The company's geographic footprint gives it a particularly important role in supplying cement to northern coastal and inland markets, where construction activity depends on reliable regional production and distribution. Cementos Pacasmayo is publicly listed under the ticker CPAC. Its corporate headquarters are in Lima, while its principal manufacturing assets are located outside the capital, close to the markets and raw-material networks they serve. The brand is associated primarily with cement production, although its broader business context is the supply of materials used in construction. Publicly available reference material confirms the company's cement-manufacturing network and regional leadership, but does not provide enough detail here to document a complete chronology of ownership changes, product-brand architecture, executive succession, marketing campaigns, or financial performance. Accordingly, this dossier focuses on the company's confirmed identity, industrial footprint, and role in Peru's building-materials sector.

Cementos Pacasmayo was established by Luis Hochschild Plaut and became a significant participant in Peru's cement industry. Its development was closely linked to the need for locally produced cement in northern Peru, a region whose construction markets are geographically distant from the country's main central industrial base. The company is known for operating production facilities in Piura, Pacasmayo, and Rioja. These plants form the core of its manufacturing network and provide access to northern coastal and inland markets. The Pacasmayo facility gives the company its name and represents the historical center of the brand's identity, while the Piura and Rioja plants extend its reach across additional parts of northern Peru. The three facilities together have a reported annual cement capacity of 4.9 million tonnes. Cementos Pacasmayo is described as the largest cement company in northern Peru, reflecting both its production scale and its regional importance. Its headquarters are in Lima, Peru, even though its principal industrial operations are distributed across the north of the country. The company is publicly listed under the ticker CPAC. Beyond these confirmed facts, the available reference material does not establish a sufficiently detailed timeline of plant openings, acquisitions, executive changes, product launches, or corporate restructurings. Those elements are therefore not expanded here without additional reliable documentation.
