Company marks evolution from local cement manufacturer to worldwide construction materials solution provider
CEMEX are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the start of their globalization strategy by commemorating the company’s entry into the Spanish market in 1992.
CEMEX began their international diversification strategy by acquiring Spanish companies Valenciana de Cementos Portland and Auxiliar de la Construcción – at that time the two largest cement makers in Spain.
Initiated in 1992, the company’s global diversification strategy has allowed CEMEX to consolidate their position as one of the most important players in the building materials industry around the world.
Today, the company has a presence in Mexico, the US, South and Central America, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
‘Our company has enjoyed tremendous development over the past 25 years,’ commented chief executive officer Fernando A. Gonzalez.
‘We are very proud of our history and our company’s many achievements over this period, made by all of those who formed and are currently part of CEMEX.
‘We have evolved from a local cement producer to a global company, integrating the best practices and talent into our worldwide operations.’
