Caribbean Cement build new Rockfort administration building
Caribbean Cement held a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of Caribbean Cement's new administration building at Rockfort last Friday. The previous building at the Rockfort cement plant was destroyed by a fire in January 2017.
Minister of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries, Audley Shaw, attended the groundbreaking ceremony and told guests, "I really am pleased to hear that the company is not just investing in equipment, and we are seeing that you are only importing equipment. Everything else that you're using is from Jamaica."
The new 1050m2 building will cost more than US$2m and will house more than 60 employees. General Manager of Carib Cement, Peter Donkersloot, said the building will create a more collaborative environment for the team.
"This building will create a work ethic we desire with people working more together, more efficiently, energy efficient and oriented to team work. You don't get to be the best company without the best people and you don't get to have the best people if you don't give the best conditions and tools they need to perform their jobs," said Mr Donkersloot.
