Responding to strong customer demand in key metropolitan markets, CEMEX EMEAA (Europe, Middle East, Africa & Asia) is investing in operational improvements and mortar capacity expansions in Spain, the UK and Poland, while also introducing selected mortar solutions in Israel and Egypt.
Following the recent investment in a new drying facility in Buxton, Derbyshire, England, investment is planned at CEMEX’s Spanish San Vicente, Buñol, Rubí and Muel mortars plants in early 2021. This will be followed by developing CEMEX sites in Germany, Poland, France and the Czech Republic in the next two years.
The innovative STREETPAVE three-stage bedding, bonding and jointing mortar paving system for more resilient pavements was recently launched, and an enhanced tiles adhesives range is currently being promoted.
CEMEX is constantly finding new bulk, bagged and dry-silo opportunities by optimising its manufacturing technologies across various countries to address customer needs better. For example, the provision of soil stabilisation material for the Grand Paris in both bulk bags and silos and the launch of bagged M4 and M12 natural mortar to complement silo and bulk bag options.
CEMEX EMEAA regional president Sergio Menendez said: “We recognise the growing demand for innovative mortars solutions for both new-build and existing building stock to cut carbon emissions in our cities and support the EU Renovation Wave. Our broad range of dry-silo bagged, and ready-to-use mortars are enhanced by expert solutions for street-paving, rendered walls, tunnel solutions, plasters and specialist sands.”
