[7] This acquisition was made at a relatively low cost, likely at a loss for the seller, due to the precarious financial situation facing the Brazilian construction industry at the time.

[8] As of 2018,[update] the company had sales in, at least, the Czech Republic, Germany (through Dyckerhoff),[6] Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Russia,[9] Slovakia, Ukraine, and the United States (through Buzzi Unicem USA).

[12] In September 2017, the company bought a 50% stake in Ecotrade, a supplier of industrial byproducts (e.g. fly ash, slags), with the intent to expand its internal operations.

[13] In mid-2017, Buzzi Unicem suffered a cyberattack which disrupted its internal process administration and delayed financial disclosures, thought to be due to the Petya ransomware virus likely infiltrating through plants that it operates in Ukraine.

[14] Because of its continued business with Russia amid Russian invasion of Ukraine, Buzzi Unicem is listed among International Sponsors of War by Ukrainian National Agency on Corruption Prevention.
