Caribbean Cement Company Reaches Key Milestone in Kiln Expansion Project

• Caribbean Cement Company Limited (CCC) has reached another major milestone in its kiln expansion project with the safe installation of a 160-tonne capacity surge bin and solid fuel equipment. This significant development ensures a stable and increased supply of fuel to the kiln, during the cement-making process.
• Managing Director of the Rockfort-based entity, Mr. Jorge Martinez, noted that the successful installation marks a significant step forward in enhancing CCC’s production capabilities. This investment is a main milestone of the expansion project to be completed in the first half of 2025. The project is aimed at increasing the efficiency and stability of the company’s operations.
• Martinez noted that the company remains focused on the continuous improvement of its infrastructure and processes to ensure long-term sustainability and value for its stakeholders, employees, and customers.
• Targeted for completion in early 2025, the expansion and increased capacity project is expected to strengthen the self-sufficiency of the cement-manufacturing industry, reduce dependency on imports, and reinforce the company’s commitment to supporting the growth of Jamaica’s construction sector and the wider Caribbean.
