Cementos Pacasmayo S.A.A. reported a 10% increase in consolidated EBITDA and a 13.8% rise in net income for the first quarter of 2024, despite a 7.2% drop in sales volume due to decreased demand in the construction sector.

Additionally, the company is focusing on sustainable practices and transforming into a building solutions provider, as evidenced by their involvement in the reconstruction of the Piura Airport.
