CemWeek Magazine, Issue 18

CW Group has the pleasure to announce the release of the first issue of CemWeek Magazine in 2014, the December/January edition.

In this issue we take a look at the highlights of the 2nd edition of the Middle East Cement Finance, Strategy and Trade Summit, that took place on December 10-11, 2013 at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel in Dubai. The meeting developed in a dynamic and interactive workshop setting, and covered most of the key issues currently facing the industry.

Also in our features we navigate through the rapid growth of Semen Indonesia, formerly known as Semen Gresik, one the largest producer in Southeast Asia and the price evolution of the cement prices in the US since 2009 when the major economic crisis that hit the world in and up until the end of 2013.

The last feature of this issue puts together a list of the most read news stories covered by the cemweek.com platform in 2013.

DonÔÇÖt forget to read our Research & Analytics section that brings you up-to-date information on cement and solid fuels volumes and prices, as well as our Regional Focus, presenting the latest and most important news and facts in the cement industry from a global perspective.
