Cement is the most popular building material in Colombia because cement structures are relatively inexpensive when compared to those built from other materials. Close to 50 percent of CEMEX Colombia's cement is sold in bags through independent distributors, making it a brand-name product of increased value to consumers.
We produce ready-mix concrete to client specifications and deliver it directly to job sites. We use portable ready-mix plants at major building sites, reducing transportation costs and eliminating the need to acquire additional permanent ready-mix facilities. We also produce other specialized cement-based building materials, including mortars, antibacterial concrete, shotcrete (sprayable concrete), and pre-fabricated concrete construction products.
