Cemex Maceo cement plant operates at reduced capacity

April 3, 2017

Cemex Latam is to operate its Maceo cement plant project in Antioquia, Colombia, at a reduced capacity due to difficulties with its environmental clearance.

The cement producer will continue building the 9.5m tonne a year plant but reduce output to 250,00 tonne a year once operational, according to a Reuters report.

In September 2016 Cemex fired several senior staff members in relation to the Maceo project and its subsidiary’s chief executive resigned following an internal audit and investigation into payments worth around $20.5m made in connection with acquiring land, mining rights, for the project.
