Capacity expansion Investment policy and product range are adapted to suit the market maturity of a country and the local customer needs. In the emerging markets, emphasis is on building up and expanding cement production. As an economy becomes more mature, vertical integration becomes more significant. The ready-mix concrete business is established first in major urban centers. In more mature markets, the range of products is even more diversified and includes aggregates, asphalt and concrete products. Because of the high degree of regulation in industrialized nations, it is strategically important to have high-grade, secure raw material reserves. |
