We partner with our customers to design and develop effective building solutions. The value of our products and services is reflected in their myriad applications across the construction industry.
we have created a range of economical and reliable concrete products to meet our customers' home construction, improvement, and renovation needs —from our free-flowing foundation concrete to our durable paving concrete for driveways, paths, and patios.
|
we have developed an array of concrete products that are specifically designed to meet the requirements and increasing demands of modern farming. Our customized products include concrete that withstands the aggressive environment found in a liquid storage or silage facility, as well as concrete that satisfies the stringent hygiene standards of livestock housing.
|
we have created a variety of concrete products that are ideal for industrial uses. For example, our fiber-reinforced concrete offers reduced cracking —due to its plastic shrinkage and toughness— and excellent finishing.
|
our significantly less permeable and highly resistant concrete products are particularly suited for coastal, marine, and other harsh environments.
|
| from our plasticized to our self-compacting concrete, we make a number of specially designed products for particular building applications. Our addition of plasticizers, for example, creates a strong and durable concrete without the need for high-cement content. |
Our state-of-the-art research centers in Switzerland and Mexico continually work to develop innovative building solutions that keep our company, our customers, and our suppliers at the forefront of the industry. Among its focus areas, our Global Center for Technology and Innovation in Switzerland designs new and enhanced construction materials, from cementitious materials - such as cement, fly ash, and slag - to ready-mix concrete, mortar, admixtures, aggregates, and asphalt.
The center also evaluates and develops sustainable methods of construction, including the use of byproducts, wastes, and recycled materials across the company's core businesses.
Given the importance of energy, the center aims to ensure that all of CEMEX's operations receive a consistent, competitive, and sustainable supply of energy. It also works with strategic partners in the energy sector to develop and deploy renewable energy initiatives and to reduce the company's environmental impact.
The center further manages worldwide emission reduction projects under the "Clean Development Mechanisms" of the Kyoto Protocol - which ensures the recognition of these initiatives in countries without mandatory emissions reduction targets and promotes the profitability of these projects by allocating them with tradable carbon certificates. This effort enables us to reduce our carbon footprint and our global exposure to energy risk.
To obtain the best performance and durability, we also place the following services at our customers' disposal:
Develop the most appropriate product for each project's specific requirements
