Cemex celebrates 25 years of global growth

Cemex celebrates the 25th anniversary of the start of its globalisation strategy by commemorating the company’s entry into the Spanish market in 1992.

Initiated in 1992, its global diversification strategy enabled Cemex to consolidate its position as one of the most important competitors in the building materials industry in the world, with a presence in Mexico and the USA as well as Latin America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

“Our company has enjoyed tremendous development over the past 25 years. We are very proud of our history and our company’s many achievements over this period, made by all of those who formed and are currently part of Cemex celebrates 25 years of global growth,” said Fernando A Gonzalez, CEO of Cemex. “We have evolved from a local cement producer to a global company, integrating the best practices and talent into our worldwide operations.”
