'''Norcem AS''' is a [[Norway|Norwegian]] manufacturer of [[cement]], and subsidiary of [[HeidelbergCement]]. It has plants in [[Brevik, Norway|Brevik]] and [[Kjøpsvik]].
==History==
Norcem was established in 1968 as a merger between the three cement factories [[Norcem Slemmestad|Christiania Portland Cementfabrikk]] (founded in 1888), [[Norcem Brevik|Dalen Portland Cemetfabrikk]] (founded in 1916) and [[Norcem Kjøpsvik|Nordland Portland Cementfabrikk]] (founded in 1918).
Norcem grew into a conglomerate of companies, especially in the building material sector, but also in the booming offshore sector. In 1987 Norcem merged with [[Aker ASA|Aker mekaniske Verksted]] and created '''Aker Norcem''', though it changed its name to '''Aker''' in 1988. The cement division of Aker merged with [[Euroc]] owned by [[Skanska]] of Sweden to form [[Scancem]] in 1995. In 1999 Scancem was sold to the German [[HeidelbergCement]].
Today, Norcem operates two cement plants, and 35 cement terminals along the Norwegian coast. The plant in Kjøpsvik is the northernmost cement plant in the world.
