Published 16 October 2012


Brazil’s upbeat stance on civil construction is expected to raise cement demand significantly. The country’s cement producers are responding by raising output capacity. As such, Cimentos Mizu introduces its new 1.2Mta  Barauna plant to the market with further capacity planned for the future.

Brazil’s present economic situation underlines the country’s clear growth in recent years and the civil construction sector is set to be one of the main beneficiaries of this progress.
