Aggregates sales boost Lafarge Maroc

Despite Morocco's cement consumption decreasing for the third year in a row (13% since 2012), Lafarge Maroc held its head above the waterline in 2014, thanks to aggregate sales, which grew 6%, and to the launch of new ranges of cement and packaged plaster, while cement sales fell 15%. In 2014, the company generated some MAD 5 billion (€453.95 million/US$519.80 million) turnover. The company believes the cement market in 2015 will remain broadly stagnant compared to 2014.
