MC-Bauchemie expands its presence in Uruguay
28 Oct 2026
Following the recent establishment of a company in Paraguay, MC-Bauchemie is further strengthening its presence in Latin America by setting up a local subsidiary in Uruguay. By setting up MC-Bauchemie Uruguay SAS, the company is gaining a direct presence in the local market and further expanding its network across the LATAM region. Customers in the building construction, infrastructure, industrial and concrete production sectors will benefit from closer support, local technical expertise and direct access to MC’s extensive range of solutions.
Closer to customers and projects
Uruguay is an attractive market for MC, with a well-developed, quality-driven construction sector and continued investment in infrastructure, industrial facilities, logistics, renewable energy, as well as residential and commercial construction. With its own local organization, MC aims to support customers and partners more directly, respond faster to project requirements and further develop long-term relationships in the Uruguayan market.
“By establishing our own presence in Uruguay, we are combining MC’s international expertise with local market knowledge. This enables us to respond more quickly to customer needs and provide more direct technical and application support,” says Jaques Pinto, MC-Bauchemie’s Regional Director for Latin America.
Broad portfolio for the Uruguayan market
MC-Bauchemie Uruguay offers a wide range of construction chemical solutions, including concrete admixtures, curing and release agents, repair and protection mortars, grouts, flooring systems, structural reinforcement and injection solutions, waterproofing systems, sealants and joint treatments, as well as chemical-resistant coatings. The company serves both new construction and refurbishment projects. Key market segments include residential, commercial and institutional buildings, as well as infrastructure projects such as seaports, airports, dams, bridges and roads. The ready-mix and precast concrete industries are also important areas of focus.
Local infrastructure for further growth
MC-Bauchemie Uruguay is based in Canelones, close to Montevideo Airport. In addition to its offices, the company operates a nearby warehouse with approximately 1,000 square metres of storage space, providing a strong logistical base for supplying customers in the local market. The local team initially comprises five employees working across sales, logistics, warehousing and administration. MC-Bauchemie Uruguay forms part of the company’s LATAM organization and is supported regionally by MC-Bauchemie Brazil. Local management is headed by Daniel Fedele (72). He brings several decades of experience in the construction chemicals industry in Latin America. During his career, he has served as General Manager in three countries and held regional management responsibilities covering six countries, giving him extensive leadership and market experience across the region. Daniel Fedele holds a degree in Architecture as well as a Diploma in General Management from the Catholic University of Uruguay. Most recently, he served as Area Manager for Latin America South. Further development of the location is already envisaged. In the medium term, MC plans to establish local production of concrete admixtures and other liquid products in Uruguay.
Long-term commitment to Latin America
With its local company in Uruguay, MC-Bauchemie is continuing its international growth strategy based on strong local organizations and close customer relationships. The long-term objective is to establish MC-Bauchemie as a trusted technology partner for the Uruguayan construction industry and to contribute to more durable, high-performing and sustainable construction projects through innovative solutions and technical expertise.
MC-Bauchemie's successful expansion in South America
MC-Bauchemie entered South America at the beginning of the millennium, establishing a company in Brazil more than 25 years ago. Since then, the Brazilian operation has developed successfully and now employs more than 400 people at three locations. In the last ten years, further companies have been established in Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay and partnerships in Colombia. With the establishment of MC-Bauchemie Uruguay SAS, MC-Bauchemie is now represented with its own companies in almost all major South American countries.
