History
editTaiheiyo Cement was created through a series of mergers and acquisitions dating back to the establishment of the Cement Manufacturing Company (later renamed the Onoda Cement Company) in 1881.[5] Onoda Cement purchased California Portland Cement Company from the CalMat Company in 1990 for $316 million,[5][6] after having acquired a 19% stake in CalMat in 1988.[7]
The Chichibu Cement Company was founded in 1923, and it merged with Onoda Cement in 1994 to form the Chichibu Onoda Cement Corporation.[5]
The cement plant that later became the Nihon Cement Company was leased from the government in 1883.[5] Nihon Cement merged with Chichibu Onoda in 1998 to form Taiheiyo Cement.[5]
International subsidiaries
editTaiheiyo Cement has a number of subsidiaries in countries around the world.
In the United States, its subsidiary Taiheiyo Cement USA, Inc., serves as the parent company of CalPortland Company.[8][9]
