Çimsa’s cement sales rise 26% in 2025 on international expansion, Mannok deal

Turkish cement producer Çimsa saw consolidated sales volumes jump 26% year over year in 2025, driven by a 55% surge in international operations, including newly acquired Mannok and expanded trading activities, even as domestic sales growth remained modest at 5.6%, the company said in a statement Feb. 26.

The strong performance came despite a marginal 0.2% decline in Türkiye operations in the fourth quarter, while international markets recorded a 37% increase, according to company data. For the full year, consolidated net sales rose 25% to TRY 45.9 billion ($1.1 billion), with Mannok contributing significantly to the growth. Excluding Mannok, consolidated sales volumes still increased 17% in 2025.

The results reflect broader strength in Turkey's cement sector, with national consumption rising 8.2% in the first eleven months of 2025, according to data from the Turkish Cement Manufacturers Association. Regions where Çimsa operates saw even stronger growth of 14% over the same period. Meanwhile, Türkiye's cement and clinker exports grew by 19% in 2025, according to data from the Central Anatolia Exporters Association, supporting international sales growth.

Çimsa maintained high-capacity utilization rates through the fourth quarter of 2025, helping drive a 17% increase in consolidated sales volumes for the period. The company's trading operations expanded significantly throughout the year, contributing to the overall volume growth alongside the Mannok acquisition.

Fourth-quarter consolidated net sales reached TRY 11.4 billion, reflecting a 2.1% organic increase supported by volume growth, the company said. The modest revenue growth compared with volume gains suggests pricing pressures in some markets, though the company maintained strong operational performance across its facilities.
