Caribbean Cement Company Limited today exported 3,000 metric tonnes of cement to the Dutch island of Curaçao.

This strategic move follows the successful commissioning of its J$6.7 billion Debottleneck Project in June, which significantly expanded production capacity at its Rockfort plant and enabled record-level output of cement and clinker.

Commenting on this latest development, Managing Director of the Rockfort-based company Jorge Martinez noted that the entity is delivering on its export commitment.

“What you are witnessing is a company that not only fully resources the local market but also has the strengthened capacity to export. Our first commitment is to Jamaica, and now that we can consistently meet domestic demand, we are complementing the local market with exports, leveraging the surplus from our expanded capacity,” he said.

Curaçao is currently experiencing economic growth, with tourism serving as a key driver. This rising demand has resulted in significant investments in infrastructure, including real estate, roads, public spaces, and utilities.

The company will continue to build its export capabilities, targeting key markets within the Caribbean Basin.
