Holcim Mexico strengthens its presence in Tabasco with a new grinding unit

This expansion, which will increase cement production capacity to 1.5 million tpy, is aligned with Holcim's commitment to promoting economic and sustainable development in the southeastern region of Mexico. The new grinding unit will generate 800 jobs during its construction and will increase the plant's workforce to more than 300 jobs once in operation.

Committing to more sustainable operations, the new facility, scheduled to begin operations at the end of 2024, will be one of the most modern and efficient in the country, standing out for its high degree of automation and its focus on sustainability, aligned with Holcim's vision to become a net-zero company .

Jaime Hill, General Director of Holcim México, highlighted: "This investment in Tabasco reflects our firm conviction in the potential of the Mexican southeast and our commitment to the sustainable development of the region. Through this expansion, we will not only increase our capacity to supply to the states of Tabasco, Chiapas, Campeche, Yucatán and Quintana Roo, but we will also reinforce our role in the decarbonisation of the construction industry, offering low-emission products such as our cements from the ECOPlanet range.
