Adelaide Brighton signs agreements with Japanese suppliers

Adelaide Brighton has entered into two clinker import supply agreements with Japanese suppliers. These agreements secure a significant part of this requirement from the Japanese suppliers, with terms of seven and 10 years. The contracts represent the continuation of existing strong relationships and a diversified supply base, while at the same time reducing exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rate.

Adelaide Brighton's imports of cementitious products, including grey and white clinker, cement and blast furnace slag are expected to increase from approximately 1.6Mt in 2012 to more than 2Mt 2016.
