Alamo Cement is Buzzi's Texas cement brand, based in San Antonio. Buzzi's own corporate history states that 'in 1979, the group starts its overseas expansion with the acquisition of Alamo Cement in San Antonio, Texas, as part of a joint venture,' initially taking a 66.7% stake, and that 'at the end of 1999, Buzzi Unicem increases its ownership of Alamo Cement from 66.7% to 100%.' Buzzi's 2025 Annual Report lists Alamo Cement Company, along with its Alamo Concrete Products and Alamo Transit subsidiaries, as 100% owned directly by Buzzi SpA.
Buzzi's hold on Alamo Cement in San Antonio, Texas was also built in stages rather than bought outright, so this record covers only the final step. The group entered Alamo Cement as a joint venture in 1979 - its first move outside Italy - and a new dry-process plant it built came on stream in 1981. In 1993 Buzzi increased its equity stake to a position of control, and, per the company's own history, at the end of 1999 it raised its ownership from 66.7% to 100%, making Alamo Cement wholly owned. Buzzi's history page gives only the year for that final step, with no specific date, seller counterparty or price, so those fields are left unrecorded rather than estimated.
