Caribbean Cement Company Limited (CCCL) advises that cement supply has improved by more than 20 per cent in recent weeks after heavy rainfall in April caused operational challenges.
Managing Director, Mr. Jorge Martinez said, “We are maintaining a steady supply and implementing measures to improve reliability and meet strong market demand. Between April and May 2026, CCCL increased production by more than 50% and customer dispatches by over 23%, driving record sales of about 110,757 metric tonnes and surpassing the previous high of 108,500 metric tonnes set in March 2021 during COVID-19. To support local demand, we also leveraged our Cemex network to import up to 23,852 metric tonnes of cement at the end of May, with additional shipments to reinforce supply and maintain market stability.”
The company has launched other strategic initiatives to strengthen operations and improve service, including increasing warehouse capacity across Jamaica, prioritising reliability of finished product, and adding equipment to boost production.
CCCL will also work with the Incorporated Master Builders’ Association to create a database for certain construction projects to support planning and supply management. It is also improving closer customer communications to provide timelier updates and support.
Caribbean Cement remains committed to Jamaica and to providing a reliable, sustainable cement supply to support the country’s development and growth.
