In Sweden, CEMEX imports cement through three strategically placed terminals in Surte, Landskrona, and Västerås.
Sweden enjoys a developed economy with steady cement consumption; most cement is sold in bulk. The company's customers are mainly ready-mix concrete, pre-cast concrete, and concrete-products manufacturers. Cement is transported to Sweden on self-discharging cargo ships and unloaded onto modern, fully automated marine terminals.
The company takes a long-term, strategic view of cement trading and business development to minimize its environmental impact. Its Swedish operations are in compliance with the European Union's production and environmental guidelines, and the company has implemented a number of its own sustainable-development initiatives.
