Cemex Phl expands in Batangas

-

Cemex Philippine­s opened its newest warehouse to meet the increasing demand for highqualit­y constructi­on materials.

Located in Barangay Pangao West, Ibaan, Batangas, the 1,500-square-meter facility aims to strengthen Cemex Philippine­s’ supply chain capabiliti­es in the region.

For 2024, the government allocated more than P1 trillion for infrastruc­ture developmen­t with almost 50 percent set aside for road networks and railway projects, further increasing the demand for high-quality constructi­on materials in fastexpand­ing areas such as the Calabarzon Region.

Strategica­lly located at the growth corridor of Batangas and Quezon, the newest facility will satisfy the requiremen­t for strong and reliable cement for developmen­t projects in the area and nearby provinces.

“By investing in this facility, we align with the government’s vision and priority for infrastruc­ture developmen­t. During the past 27 years, we have played an important part in the country’s developmen­t, and we are ready to continue supporting the government’s ambitious plans going forward,” Luis Franco, Cemex Philippine­s president and CEO said during the recently held ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Ibaan warehouse.

The 24-hour operationa­l warehouse provides staging areas for efficient loading and dispatch of cement products ensuring a steady supply to Cemex Philippine­s’ customer partners.

“We will be completing our Solid expansion project soon, and we will have the most efficient and sustainabl­e cement production line in the Philippine­s. This warehouse is a great complement to our Luzon distributi­on network as it gives us a better position to address the increasing cement demand in the market,” Franco added.
