A comment from our CEO

There is no denying that the big picture these days can be unsettling. The global economic situation is uncertain, which may mean temporarily tighter credit for financing new construction and upgrades of cement and minerals plants. But the big picture is not as discouraging as it might first appear. Financing remains available even for long-term projects. The right maintenance philosophy can work wonders. And technological innovation offers a path to more efficient and profitable operation.
