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 is a publicly listed company headquartered in Casale Monferrato, Italy, founded in 1907. Brandtree records 3 brands under its control, and it is listed as Euronext Milan: BZU.
Buzzi traces to Fratelli Buzzi Cementi, founded by brothers Pietro and Antonio Buzzi in Trino, Italy in 1907; the modern group took shape in September 1999 when Buzzi Cementi took over Unicem (itself descended from a cement works founded in Casale Monferrato in 1878) to form Buzzi Unicem, since renamed Buzzi S.p.A. It is headquartered in Casale Monferrato and listed on Euronext Milan under the ticker BZU. Its 2025 Annual Report states the company 'is controlled by Fimedi SpA, which directly and indirectly, through its subsidiary Presa SpA' holds the controlling stake — both are private holding vehicles of the Buzzi family with no other operating business, which is why this file seeds Buzzi S.p.A. itself rather than either holding company.
Brandtree records a controlling owner for 2,570 brands that began in the United States.
501 of them (19%) are now controlled by a company headquartered in another country, Alamo Cement among them.
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.
The parent company of Alamo Cement is Buzzi, a publicly listed company headquartered in Italy.
