Products & Services

Trading

Our global trading network—one of the largest in the industry—plays a fundamental and evolving role in realizing our objectives. Because we understand the business' realities, we can build strong relationships with reliable suppliers and shippers, which translate into a superior value proposition for our customers. Our worldwide network of strategically located marine terminals and broad third-party customer base also provide us with the added flexibility to fully place contracted supplies in an optimal way.

If you have a requirement for any of these products and services, please locate one of our global trading offices using the map on the right or email us with your requirements.

Forge lasting relationships worldwide

As our organization and our industry have grown, the goals of our trading operations have grown along with them. Started as a means to maximize our domestic production capacity, our trading operations now enable us to forge lasting international relationships, explore new markets without the necessity of making an immediate capital investment, and better balance regional supply and demand.

Deliver materials to where they're needed most

We can direct building materials—primarily cement, clinker, and slag—to markets where they are needed most and, in the process, optimize the allocation of our worldwide production capacity. We are able to move these materials from markets with excess supply and meet customers' need for quality virtually all over the world.

In 2009 we had trading relationships in 96 countries. Our trading volume totaled almost 8.3 million metric tons of cementitious materials—including approximately 7.3 million metric tons of cement and clinker. We also maintained a sizeable trading position of 1.0 million metric tons of granulated blast furnace slag, a non-clinker cementitious material.

Stay ahead of the curve

Our global network enables us to offer full service, which better integrates us into the value chain. Moreover, our shared best practices—advanced simulation techniques, communications systems, and international intelligence network—put our trading unit ahead of the curve.
