VCNA operates a diversified building materials business spanning cements, aggregates, concrete, and specialty additives across Canada and the US, supported by a 1,000–5,000 person workforce. The hiring velocity is accelerating with 61 roles posted in the last 30 days, concentrated in operations (35), manufacturing (21), and engineering (18)—signaling aggressive capacity expansion. Their tech stack reflects industrial operations maturity: SAP for enterprise planning, Maximo for asset management, UKG/Dayforce for workforce scheduling, and Power BI for analytics, paired with active projects in predictive maintenance, electrical upgrades, and HRIS modernization.
Votorantim Cimentos North America manufactures and distributes building materials—cements, concretes, mortars, aggregates, limes, and specialty products like waterproofing agents and plasticizers—to construction and infrastructure customers. The parent company operates across nine countries with over 13,000 employees globally; the North America division is headquartered in Toronto. Beyond core materials, VCNA manages related business units in agricultural solutions, waste management, logistics, and retail-sector solutions. The company competes on product portfolio breadth and integrated supply-chain capability across manufacturing, logistics, and distribution.
Core stack includes SAP (enterprise resource planning), Maximo (asset/maintenance management), UKG and Dayforce (payroll/HR), Kronos (workforce scheduling), Power BI (analytics), and AutoCAD (design). Industrial control systems (PLC) and CMMS (maintenance management) support manufacturing operations.
Active initiatives include predictive maintenance programs, electrical upgrades and new installations, green-field site development, HRIS and payroll system modernization, procurement/MRO planning technology implementation, and continuous improvement through root cause analysis and shutdown planning.
