Pacasmayo is a leading cement producer in northern Peru, though smaller in revenues and EBITDA compared to larger
competitors. Its strong regional focus, robust distribution network, and control over local raw materials provide cost
advantages and operational efficiency. The company's brand is well-established, benefiting from customer loyalty,
particularly in underserved regions. Pacasmayo’s diversified product range and sustainability initiatives further strengthen
its position. Despite its smaller scale, it maintains significant barriers to entry, ensuring stable margins and market
leadership in its core areas.
