Cementos Argos funds Ceratech

US/Colombia: Ceratech, Inc., a producer of alternative, non-OPC cementitious materials, has accepted another strategic equity investment, this time from Colombian cement powerhouse Cementos Argos. The Ceratech investment follows Argos' recent expansion of its US presence through a USD 760m purchase of Lafarge assets in the south east of the country. The strategic investment will help Argos meet its goal of building a competitive advantage based on sustainability and innovation.

Ceratech's manufacturing process produces technologically advanced, more durable, 'sustainable cements' comprising 95% waste fly ash generated by electric utilities. Its production does not generate any CO2 and the product is well-positioned for adoption by contractors, distributors and companies that are looking for new solutions that better conform to green building initiatives.

The two companies will cooperate to develop and distribute Ceratech's cement through Argos' established ready mix channels throughout the mid-Atlantic, southeastern and southwestern US markets.

"This strategic investment being made by Argos shows how important innovative, sustainable construction products are to the industry," stated Jon Hyman, CEO of Ceratech. "Ours is the only cement on the market composed of more than 90% fly ash. As the industry's only carbon-free cement, we exceed the requirements for green building practices such as USGBC's LEED rating system."
