CIMPOR implementa mineração de superfície na Pedreira do Bom Jesus

A CIMPOR deu mais um passo na modernização das suas operações com a implementação de uma mineradora de superfície Vermeer na Pedreira do Bom Jesus, em Alhandra. Esta tecnologia inovadora permite a extração de matéria-prima sem recurso a perfuração e desmonte com explosivos, introduzindo uma abordagem mais responsável do ponto de vista social e ambiental na exploração de pedreiras.

Em operação contínua desde 1894, a Pedreira do Bom Jesus abrange cerca de 325 hectares e é atualmente a maior área de exploração mineral não metálica licenciada em Portugal. Ao longo de mais de um século de atividade, o crescimento das áreas urbanas levou à aproximação progressiva das comunidades às zonas de exploração da pedreira. Este contexto reforçou a necessidade de encontrar soluções que permitam reduzir os impactos associados aos métodos tradicionais de extração, nomeadamente vibrações e ruído.

A adoção da mineração de superfície surge precisamente como resposta a esse desafio. Perante este contexto e no ano em que assinala 50 anos de atividade, a CIMPOR continua a evoluir os seus métodos de produção, apostando em soluções mais inovadoras e responsáveis. Esta tecnologia insere-se na estratégia de responsabilidade social e ambiental da CIMPOR, contribuindo para a melhoria contínua dos métodos utilizados na extração de calcário e para a minimização dos impactos nas comunidades vizinhas. Além de permitir uma redução significativa do ruído e das vibrações, este método assegura um fluxo de produção consistente e abre novas possibilidades na gestão das frentes de exploração.

Com a mineradora de superfície Vermeer em pleno funcionamento, a CIMPOR prossegue o seu caminho de modernização industrial, aliando eficiência operacional a uma abordagem mais sustentável. Desta forma, a empresa continua a desenvolver soluções que promovem uma convivência mais harmoniosa entre a atividade industrial e as comunidades onde opera.

CIMPOR distinguished as Marca de Confiança 2026

CIMPOR has been distinguished as Marca de Confiança 2026 (Trusted Brand 2026) in the Cement category, in the study promoted by Selecções do Reader’s Digest. The brand was the most frequently mentioned by participants, receiving 76% of the responses.

In addition to the spontaneous choice of the brand, participants also evaluated three attributes — Quality, Cost/Benefit Ratio and Sustainability — on a scale from 1 to 5, where CIMPOR stood out particularly in Quality. The study also indicates that 55% of respondents stated they are customers of the brand.

CIMPOR’s recognition in this initiative carries a special significance as it takes place in the year the brand celebrates its 50th anniversary. Throughout this journey, CIMPOR has consistently worked to build and strengthen the trust of Portuguese consumers, and this recognition reflects that journey while confirming the efforts made over the years.

Conducted in Portugal since 2001, the Marca de Confiança study involves the direct participation of Portuguese consumers through a panel representative of the population in terms of gender and age. It currently covers around 70 categories, as well as specific areas such as Professions, Institutions and Personalities.

The study’s methodology is based on an open-ended question, allowing participants to spontaneously indicate the brands they trust most, without predefined lists or options, ensuring greater neutrality and rigor in the results.

This distinction reinforces CIMPOR’s positioning as a reference brand in the construction sector and reflects the company’s journey over decades, marked by continuous investment in product quality, innovation and sustainability, as well as the close relationship it has built with customers, industry professionals and partners.
