CEMEX announces winners of its Supplier of the Year awards

In its final phase, CEMEX’s INTEGRATE Innovation Program included 11 global suppliers of various categories and services (i.e., mobile equipment, paper and sacks, lubricants, additives, and refractory material, among others), who proposed 15 creative ideas to generate more efficient processes, products, and services. To evaluate and qualify the ideas received, 70 people from different areas of CEMEX (e.g., Technical, Planning, Operations, Innovation, Commercial, and Procurement) and different regions of the world participated in the selection of the three winning ideas.

Correspondingly, CEMEX representatives from the different global categories carried out the company’s Supplier of the Year selection process.
