A story
made of
people

When I joined Votorantim Cimentos, the company was 45 years old, Engemix was 13, and I was 22—full of dreams and aspirations. Today, 45 years later, I see that reality has far exceeded those dreams. Back then, I never imagined I would negotiate five shopping centers, hundreds of buildings, two stadiums, and the project that would become São Paulo’s (Brazil) iconic landmark: the Estaiada Bridge. I am deeply grateful to Votorantim Cimentos for this life journey guided by ethics above all, and for making me a better person. Finally, I leave just one message for that 22-year-old back in 1981: “Go forward—you’re about to build a wonderful story in this company."

Today we celebrate 90 years of a company that has built a solid history marked by hard work, innovation, and committed people. I am proud to have been part of this journey for 21 years, learning, growing, and contributing daily to this legacy. Here, I grew as a professional and as a person, alongside those who make a difference every day. May the coming years bring even more achievements, unity, and success. Congratulations, VC, on 90 years! May the future continue to be built with dedication.

Celebrating Votorantim Cimentos’ 90th anniversary is truly rewarding. My father, a bricklayer, used VC products long before I joined the company, and today I have the privilege of contributing to the production of these materials. This is where I grew, learned, and developed, and seeing my story intertwine with the company’s reinforces my pride and hope for an even stronger future.

I am part of the third generation leading Casas da Água, serving as a director. The company was founded by my grandfather, José Nitro da Silva, who today also holds the position of director and president. When we think about a company reaching 90 years, we know it didn’t happen by chance. We are certain it is a company with a strong purpose. Casas da Água is proud to be part of this milestone, this great achievement, which is Votorantim Cimentos. Celebrating 90 years of a company we know is serious, ethical in business, and has always maintained a transparent relationship with us makes us very proud. We are thrilled to be part of this journey because, after all, construction is what we do best. On behalf of the entire Casas da Água family, we extend our congratulations on Votorantim Cimentos’ 90th anniversary. Count on the Casas da Água family. Congratulations, Votorantim Cimentos! Few companies reach 90 years. We’re in this together.

Being part of the celebration of the 90th anniversary of Votorantim Cimentos is a great honor for us. For 17 years, we have walked together, building a partnership based on trust, respect and a commitment to excellence. Contributing to this history means participating in a solid legacy, continuously learning and growing alongside a company that is a benchmark in Brazil and the world. We are proud of this journey and remain committed to evolving to help write the next chapters of this success story.

For 45 years, Votorantim Cimentos has been a part of Grupo Base’s journey. Throughout this time, we have built a partnership based on trust, close relationships and a commitment to the quality that our customers expect. We congratulate Votorantim Cimentos on their 90 years of history and express our gratitude for their journey with us, contributing to everything we have helped to build.

We are very proud to have Votorantim Cimentos as our main supplier. A company that is part of our history, that has always supported us and contributed to the growth of Concretar. Without a doubt, the strength of the brand ensures that our customers have the confidence they need to make the decision to choose the best cement for their projects.

At Rio Claro Engenharia de Concretos, we pay tribute to Votorantim Cimentos’ 90-year history, marked by innovation, strength and commitment to the growth of Brazil. Since 2008, when we began our journey in the world of concrete, we have upheld ethics, quality, punctuality, transparency in our business and the appreciation of our employees as our key values. We sought partners with whom we could build our history, and we found VC! Since then, our admiration—like that of a child looking to an adult as a role model—has transformed into partnership, knowledge and the pursuit of a common path. Congratulations to Votorantim Cimentos on its ninety years of history and for inspiring us to be better every day. May this partnership continue to grow strong! Thank you!

Over these 90 years, the history of Votorantim Cimentos is intertwined with the history of civil construction in Brazil. It is a privilege to be part of the celebrations of a company that has been a strategic partner of Goiarte Soluções for over 33 years. Votorantim Cimentos has actively participated in our growth and has been fundamental to the image that our products have built in the market. In the case of cement, trust is paramount: it is the essential raw material in all our products. We need regular supply and assurance of quality, which Votorantim Cimentos has always guaranteed. Congratulations, Votorantim Cimentos!
