Cemex France

What Cemex France does

Cemex France (legal entity: CEMEX France Services, a Groupement d'Intérêt Économique headquartered in Rungis) is the French subsidiary of Mexico-based Cemex S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: CX), operating in three core construction-materials verticals: ready-mix concrete (Bétons Prêts à l'Emploi), aggregates (Granulats), and concrete admixtures (Adjuvants). The business runs a nationwide industrial network of 183 ready-mix concrete production units, 67 quarries, depots, ports, and recycling platforms, 11 river ports in Île-de-France, and a proprietary shipyard (Chantiers de la Haute-Seine) with a barge fleet that supplies customers across the Seine basin. Its product catalogue spans specialized concrete brands (Vertua® low-carbon, CXB®, Evolution®, Nuantis®, Promptis®, Resilia, Pervia®, Insularis®, Hydratium®, Advanci®), Neogem decorative aggregates, and a range of standard and specialty sands and gravels.

The commercial model is sales-led and hybrid in customer mix: large public and enterprise infrastructure clients (e.g., Société des grands projets via Eiffage-Cemex-Veolia on Grand Paris Express Line 15 Est; NGE, Webuild, NGE Fondations on Line 15 Ouest Nord) are served through direct enterprise sales, project-level formulation and logistics planning, and pumping/delivery services; construction professionals (Particuliers/SMB and Pros) are served through online quote-request forms, the Cemex Go self-serve digital platform, direct collection from quarries/depots (including big-bag packaging), and the Experensol applicator network for floor solutions. Ancillary services include the LABexperts national technical centre (testing, mix-design, environmental waste analysis), Terra Expertis environmental engineering bureau, waste valorization and recycling (notably the new €10M, 200,000-tonne/year Bonneuil-sur-Marne multimodal platform opened June 2026), and the Cemex BIM Tools Suite for architects and engineers.

Pricing is unit-based (€/m³ for concrete, €/tonne or €/m³ for aggregates), with surcharge mechanics for waiting time, mandatory eco-contribution (REP PMCB) pass-through, and French commercial-code-compliant payment terms (cash at order; ECB +10 points late-payment penalties); specifics are quote-driven and not publicly disclosed. The company has been a société à mission since March 2023, holds ISO 14001, Engagement biodiversité, and Label RSE UNICEM exemplarité certifications, and operates a 20+ year biodiversity partnership with the Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux (LPO). Reported headcount is approximately 1,700–1,800 employees in France; revenue is not publicly disclosed.
