El Salvador: Holcim El Salvador has announced the opening of a new distribution centre in San Miguel to strengthen its presence in the eastern region. The centre will provide easier access to Holcim’s Fuerte and Maestro cement from the ECOPlanet range. It also means that customers no longer need to travel to Metapán to purchase cement. The site accommodates dredges and small trucks for fast dispatch, with a minimum order of 40 bags.

Argentina: Loma Negra has inaugurated the second production line at its L’Amalí cement plant. The El Cronista newspaper has reported that the InterCement subsidiary invested US$350m in the line, which expands the plant’s capacity by 40%. It previously started up the new line’s kiln in June 2021 but was later forced to suspend all clinker production at the plant due to a union dispute. It previously said it was close to commissioning the grinding mill and despatch unit for the line in August 2021.
