Brazilian Portland Cement, Industrial heritage site in Perus district, São Paulo, Brazil
The cement factory complex spans 100,000 square meters, featuring industrial buildings, warehouses, production lines, and railroad connections to transport limestone.
Established in 1924 by Canadian investors, this factory manufactured Portland cement from 1926 to 1987, marking the start of Brazil's cement industry.
The workers' movement known as Queixadas organized a seven-year strike between 1962 and 1969, advocating for labor rights during Brazil's military regime.
The Municipal Council for Historical Heritage Protection designated the factory buildings as protected municipal heritage structures in 1992.
The factory operated its own railway system, the Perus-Pirapora Railroad, to transport limestone from Cajamar quarries to production facilities.
