CemWeek Magazine, Issue 23

In this issue of CemWeek magazine we are proud to present the highlights of the Global Cement Trade Price report recently released by CW Research. This edition of the report covers the first quarter of 2015 and shows Europe still relying on exports in order to rid of surplus. ON the other hand, the Asian cement producers continue to increase their production to meet the demand.

This edition of the magazine has two more interesting cover stories. One of them focus on African cement producers and facilities. At the end of 2013, there were 204 cement manufacturing facilities and 235 production lines in Africa, and their total annual capacity reached 249.6 million tons for an estimated increase of 42 million tons (20 percent) since 2011.

The last of the features highlights the contributions of CW Group Advisory team with the Investment Corporation of Dubai. The company has made its first foray in the African market by buying a minority share in the Nigerian Dangote Cement.

In addition, do not miss the in-depth analysis of the cement and energy market presented by CW Research in the Research & Analytics section, as well as the most important activities around the world, covering Asia, Americas and Europe, Middle East and Africa.
