I-Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN) Cimentos iqinisekiswe kuleli sonto njengomthengi okuvunyelwene ngawo webhizinisi likasimende lase-Holcim laseBrazil elinenani lomsebenzi lama-US$1.03 webhiliyoni. Lokhu kuthengiselana kuhlanganisa izimboni zikasimende ezididiyelwe ezinhlanu, izimboni ezine zokugaya kanye nezinsiza zikakhonkolo ezixubile eziyi-19. Mayelana namandla okukhiqiza, i-CSN manje kulindeleke ukuthi ibe umkhiqizi wesemende wesithathu ngobukhulu eBrazil, ilandela i-Votorantim ne-InterCement. Noma, uma ukholwa izimangalo eziqinile ze-CSN mayelana nomthamo wokungenzi lutho wezimbangi, usendaweni yesibili!
Umfanekiso 1: Imephu yesitshalo sikasimende efakwe ekutholweni kwe-CSN Cimentos kwezimpahla zase-LafargeHolcim zase-Brazilian. Umthombo: Iwebhusayithi ye-CSN Investor Relations.
I-CSN ekuqaleni yaqala ngokukhiqiza insimbi, futhi iseyingxenye enkulu yebhizinisi layo kuze kube namuhla. Ngo-2020, ibike imali engenayo engama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-5.74. Cishe u-55% uvela ebhizinisini lensimbi, u-42% uvela ebhizinisini lezimayini, u-5% uvela ebhizinisini lezokuthutha, futhi u-3% kuphela ebhizinisini likasimende. Ukuthuthukiswa kwe-CSN embonini kasimende kwaqala ngo-2009 lapho iqala ukugaya i-blast furnace slag kanye ne-clinker embonini ye-President Vargas e-Volta Redonda, e-Rio de Janeiro. Ngemuva kwalokho, inkampani yaqala ukukhiqiza ama-clinker ngo-2011 embonini yayo edidiyelwe ye-Arcos eMinas Gerais. Eminyakeni eyishumi eyalandela, izinto eziningi zenzeka emphakathini okungenani, ngoba izwe lalibhekene nokuwohloka komnotho futhi ukuthengiswa kukasimende kuzwelonke kwehle kakhulu ngo-2017. Kusukela cishe ngo-2019, i-CSN Cimentos yabe iqala ukuxoxa ngokunye okusha okuhlongozwayo. amaphrojekthi efektri kwenye indawo. I-Brazil, kuye ngokukhula kwemakethe kanye nokunikezwa komphakathi kokuqala okulindelekile (IPO). Lokhu kufaka phakathi amafekthri aseCeara, eSergipe, ePara naseParana, kanye nokwandiswa kwamafekthri akhona eningizimu-mpumalanga. Kamuva, i-CSN Cimentos yavuma ukuthola i-Cimento Elizabeth ngama-USD 220 wezigidi ngoJulayi 2021.
Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi ukutholwa kwe-Holcim kusadinga imvume yesiphathimandla sokuncintisana sasendaweni. Isibonelo, ifekthri yase-Cimento Elizabeth kanye nefekthri yase-Holcim's Caaporã zombili zitholakala esifundeni saseParaíba, cishe amakhilomitha angama-30 ukusuka kwenye. Uma kuvunyiwe, lokhu kuzokwenza i-CSN Cimentos ibe ngumnikazi wezitshalo ezimbili kwezine zombuso ezididiyelwe, kanti ezinye ezimbili zisetshenziswa yi-Votorantim kanye ne-InterCement. I-CSN ilungiselela nokuthenga amafekthri amane ahlanganisiwe e-Minas Gerais e-Holcim ukuze yandise le enayo njengamanje. Nakuba ngenxa yenani elikhulu lezitshalo esifundazweni, lokhu akubonakali kuthola ukunakwa okuningi.
U-Holcim ukubeke kwacaca ukuthi ukwehlukana eBrazil kuyingxenye yesu labo lokuphinde bagxile ezisombululweni zokwakha ezisimeme. Ngemuva kokuphothula ukutholwa kwe-Firestone ekuqaleni kuka-2021, imali ezotholwayo izosetshenziselwa izixazululo zayo namabhizinisi emikhiqizo. Iphinde yasho ukuthi ifuna ukugxila ezimakethe ezibalulekile ezinamathemba esikhathi eside. Kulokhu, ukuthuthukiswa okuhlukahlukene kukasimende ngabakhiqizi abakhulu bensimbi njenge-CSN kuhluke kakhulu. Zombili lezi zimboni ziyizimboni ezikhipha isikhutha esiningi, ngakho i-CSN ngeke ize iqhele ezimbonini ezidla kakhulu i-carbon. Kodwa-ke, ngokusebenzisa i-slag ekukhiqizeni usimende, laba bobabili banokusebenzisana ngokusebenza, umnotho kanye nokusimama. Lokhu kuholele ekutheni i-CSN Cimentos ibambisane neVotorantim yaseBrazil kanye ne-JSW Cement yaseNdiya, nayo ekhiqiza usimende. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yini enye eyenzekayo eNgqungqutheleni yama-26 ye-United Nations Climate Change (COP26) ngoNovemba 2021, kubonakala kungenakwenzeka ukuthi isidingo somhlaba wonke sensimbi noma usimende sizokwehla kakhulu. I-CSN Cimentos manje isizoqala kabusha i-IPO yayo yesitoko ukuze iqoqe imali yokutholwa kwe-Holcim.
Ukutholwa konke kumayelana nesikhathi. Umsebenzi we-CSN Cimentos-Holcim ulandela ukutholwa kwe-CRH Brazil yibhizinisi elihlanganyelwe le-Buzzi Unicem's Companhia Nacional de Cimento (CNC) ngasekuqaleni kuka-2021. Njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, imakethe yesimende yaseBrazil ibisebenza kahle kusukela yaqala ukusimama ngo-2018. Uma iqhathaniswa nezinye. Amazwe, ngenxa yezinyathelo ezibuthakathaka zokuvala izivalo, ubhubhane lwe-coronavirus aluzange lwehlise lesi simo. Ngokwemininingwane yakamuva evela ku-National Cement Industry Association (SNIC) ngo-Agasti 2021, ukukhula kokuthengisa kwamanje kungase kuba ntekenteke kancane kancane. Kusukela maphakathi no-2019, inani eliphelele lonyaka elikhuphuka njalo ngenyanga liye landa, kodwa laqala ukwehla ngoMeyi 2021. Ngokusho kwedatha kuze kube manje kulo nyaka, ukuthengisa ngo-2021 kuzokwanda, kodwa ngemva kwalokho, ngubani owaziyo? Idokhumenti yoSuku Lwabatshalizimali lwe-CSN ngoDisemba 2020 ibikezela ukuthi, njengoba kulindelekile, ngokusekelwe ekukhuleni kwesibikezelo somnotho sisonke, ukusetshenziswa kukasimende e-Brazil kuzokhula kancane kuze kube okungenani ngo-2025. Nokho, ukukhathazeka ngokukhuphuka kwamandla emali, ukukhuphuka kwentengo nokungaqiniseki kwezombusazwe ngaphambi kokhetho lukazwelonke olulandelayo ukuphela kuka-2022 kungase kubukele phansi lokhu. Isibonelo, i-InterCement ikhansele i-IPO yayo ehlongozwayo ngoJulayi 2021 ngenxa yokulinganisa okuphansi ngenxa yokungaqiniseki kwabatshalizimali. I-CSN Cimentos ingase ihlangabezane nezinkinga ezifanayo ku-IPO yayo ehleliwe noma ibhekane nesilinganiso eseqile lapho ikhokhela i-LafargeHolcim Brazil. Kunoma ikuphi, i-CSN inqume ukuzifaka engozini emgwaqeni ukuze ibe umkhiqizi usimende wesithathu ngobukhulu e-Brazil.
