Sample Solution
CEMEX was founded with the opening of Cementos Hidalgo, in 1906. Meanwhile, Cementos Portland Monterrey began operations in 1920, and in 1931, the two companies merged, becoming Cementos Mexicanos, now CEMEX. In the 1960s, CEMEX grew significantly when it acquired several more plants throughout Mexico. CEMEX manufactures and distributes cement, ready-mix concrete and aggregate in more than 50 countries. CEMEX invests in Chilean startup ObraLink with innovative technology to accelerate the digital transformation of the construction industry. CEMEX gains access to a fully automated solution that reduces construction times and costs through a comprehensive concrete pouring and hardening monitoring process.
