What CEMEX Mexico does

CEMEX Mexico is the Mexican operating subsidiary of CEMEX S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: CX), producing and selling cement, ready-mix concrete, aggregates, additives, steel, asphalt and waterproofing products through a network of more than 100 plants and a workforce of over 10,000 employees. Headquartered in Monterrey and operating continuously since 1906, the business serves five demand segments — housing, industrial, infrastructure, commercial and distribution — and offers more than 50 specialized concrete formulations, including the Vertua low-carbon line, photoluminescent and antibacterial specialty concretes, and a scanner-authenticated product line branded "Concreto que Habla."

The company's technology stack combines materials science with applied AI: AI-assisted mix design supports real-time concrete formulation, 3D concrete printing has been industrialized jointly with Techint, and a dedicated Centro de Innovación y Desarrollo in Mexico City concentrates R&D activity. Documented commercial deployments include 49 prefabricated 3D-printed trenches for Techint and 99,500 m³ of Vertua low-carbon concrete for the La Gloria-Colombia highway. The company also holds 14,000+ Environmental Product Declarations across its plants and has maintained 23 consecutive years of ESR (Empresa Socialmente Responsable) recognition.

CEMEX Mexico monetizes through a multi-channel model. Enterprise and infrastructure customers are served by direct sales; large industrial buyers are served under framework agreements with named customers such as JUMEX, FEMSA, Gobierno de Nuevo León, Techint and Desarrolladora Carpin. Smaller buyers access the company via the Cemex Go digital platform (with a 1 cubic meter minimum order), the Construrama retail franchise network, the Cemex Industrial Supply e-commerce channel for ancillary materials, and the Alliera digital financing service. The Patrimonio Hoy program extends credit and technical advisory to low-income housing self-builders, broadening the customer base toward the base of the pyramid.
