Project Description

The proposed project relates to (i) the acquisition of profitable construction material producers and aggregate businesses, both domestically and abroad; and (ii) the investment in modernisation of production lines within the Group.

contribution toward the economic reintegration of Croatia;
improvement of the environment in the cement and building materials sector through compliance with the Bank's environmental requirements; and
promotion of high standards of corporate governance and good business practice through working with NasiceCement.

NasiceCement has also successfully acquired several ready-mix and brick production companies.

Project Cost

Environmental Impact

The project was screened C/1. The project will provide NasiceCement Group with the possibility to expand by acquiring construction material producers, ready-mix operations, quarries, etc.
