'''Norcem AS''' is a [Norwegian](/source/Norway) manufacturer of [cement](/source/cement), and subsidiary of [HeidelbergCement](/source/HeidelbergCement). It has plants in [Brevik](/source/Brevik%2C_Norway) and [Kjøpsvik](/source/Kj%C3%B8psvik).

==History==
Norcem was established in 1968 as a merger between the three cement factories [Christiania Portland Cementfabrikk](/source/Norcem_Slemmestad) (founded in 1888), [Dalen Portland Cemetfabrikk](/source/Norcem_Brevik) (founded in 1916) and [Nordland Portland Cementfabrikk](/source/Norcem_Kj%C3%B8psvik) (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 mekaniske Verksted](/source/Aker_ASA) and created '''Aker Norcem''', though it changed its name to '''Aker''' in 1988. The cement division of Aker merged with [Euroc](/source/Euroc) owned by [Skanska](/source/Skanska) of Sweden to form [Scancem](/source/Scancem) in 1995. In 1999 Scancem was sold to the German [HeidelbergCement](/source/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.
