HOUSTON, May 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Cemex USA (“Cemex”) announced today it has finalized an acquisition that secures new long-term aggregates reserves, expanding its aggregates footprint and further strengthening the company’s position in aggregate constrained markets.
Cemex recently closed on its purchase of the assets of Atlantic Minerals Limited in Newfoundland, Canada, consisting of a construction and chemical aggregates quarry and port operations. The new business will be operated as Cemex Materials Newfoundland, Inc.
