Cemex supports Consumer Summit

In sharing the same goal with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to build a globally competitive and innovative industry and services sector in the country, global cement manufacturer Cemex Holdings Philippines recently supported the DTI Rizal Consumer Summit held at the Sta. Lucia Mall in Cainta, Rizal to inform consumers of standards in cement manufacturing and delivery and what they should look for in buying cement products to help ensure quality of structures and value for money.

Participating in the summit also strengthens Cemex’s role in Rizal, which is home to its subsidiary Solid Cement Plant located in Antipolo City. Likewise, Cemex recently announced the construction of a $235M new integrated cement line in Solid Cement Plant.

“The DTI Rizal Consumer Summit is really a venue to be able to reach out and directly exchange ideas, feedback with consumers and for the government and the private sector to understand what the industry needs, and to spread awareness on updates in trade, industry, and investment. On the part of Cemex, this platform complements our customer-centric approach to doing business,” explained Alejandro John Eraldo, quality assurance leader – operations and technical at Cemex Holdings Philippines.

Eraldo presented to an audience of over 300 participants where he showcased Cemex Philippines and its commitment to be a responsible investor that delivers innovative cement products and other building solutions. Cemex has a total cement capacity of 5.7 million metric tons with Solid Cement Plant delivering 1.9 million metric tons and the Apo Cement Plant in Cebu contributing 3.8 million metric tons.

The event was graced by Trade Undersecretary for Consumer Protection Group Ruth Castelo, regional director Marilou Toledo, and provincial director Mercedes Pareno who recognized the company’s support for such events for consumers and the quality of the Solid Cement facility.
