LISBON, March 30 (Reuters) - Brazil's Camargo Correa is preparing to launch a bid for the rest of Portuguese cement maker Cimpor, two sources close to the situation said on Friday.
They said Camargo was finalising the details of the bid, which could come as soon as Friday.
Camargo already owns 32.9 percent of Cimpor. A spokesman at Cimpor said the company would not comment.
There were rumours at the end of last year that Camargo and Brazil's Votorantim were preparing to buy all of Cimpor. Votorantim holds 21 percent of the Portuguese company.
The two Brazilian companies bought their stakes in Cimpor in 2010, attracted by Cimpor's international interests, including in Brazil.
Shares in Cimpor closed on Friday 1.44 percent higher at 5 euros per share.
