PROFILE |
 |
Vicat has built its business foundation with cement, but it also dabbles in chemicals and paper. Sales of cement, concrete, and aggregates constitute the lion's share of the company's business, accounting for more than 80% of sales. Vicat also has interests in paper production (primarily for cement packaging), transportation, and construction chemicals. Vicat has operations in Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Turkey (it owns 85% of Turkish company Bastas Baskent Cimento Sanayi), and the US, but France accounts for about 60% of sales. Vicat's largest shareholders are Heidelberger Zement (35%) and French holding company Hopar (24%).
