Paraguay: INC to increase distribution points

Paraguay’s Industria Nacional del Cemento (INC) expects to increase its number of distributors following the rise in producttion in the second half of this year, according to its Managing Director, Jorge Méndez.

Commercial Director, Derlys Ortiz, said the company would add 113 distributors to its current 332. The selection process for the new distributors will start this week and is expected to run until 15 June. The expanded distribution network will allow the company to reach the country’s markets without problems. “The idea is to expand into the interior of the country and supply particularly concrete producers,” Mr Ortiz said.

INC has commissioned a new pozzolan dryer and with the new mill, output is forecast to increase by 30 per cent.
