Our History

Spain

In Spain, CEMEX is one of the five largest multinational producers of cement. Its eight cement plants, 102 ready-mix facilities, and 23 land and marine terminals serve the central, Cataluña, Aragón, and Levante regions, as well as the Baleares Islands. Our geographic diversification, extensive distribution channels, and ability to shift production to meet demand allow us to cope with regional downturns in demand more effectively than our competitors.

User base

The company offers various types of cement, tailoring its products for specific markets and users. Approximately 15 percent of the company’s Spanish cement sales volume is sold in bags through distributors, and the remainder is sold in bulk primarily to ready-mix concrete operators, which include industrial customers and construction companies.

Value initiatives

Over the last few years, we have launched a number of successful customer-service initiatives in Spain. For example, with our ATM-like unattended bulk cement dispatch system, customers reap the benefits of 24-hour self-service such as increased loading flexibility, shortened loading times, and reduced paper work.

Also, we have improved the profitability of our Spanish operations by introducing technological improvements that have significantly reduced our energy costs. In 2009 we continued to increase our Spanish cement plants’ use of more cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternative fuels – such as organic waste, tires, and plastics – achieving a 26.5 percent substitution rate for the year.
