Supplying a second line for a Colombian cement plant

摘要

Back in 2011, the Ruiseco family started, and was sole owner of their new cement company, Ultracem SAS in Barranquilla, Atlantico/Colombia. At the time, brothers Juan Manuel Ruiseco Gutierrez (CEO) and Nicolas Ruiseco Gutierrez (Executive VP) felt the Colombian cement market was ripe for a new start-up cement plant but they were not sure how long the strong market conditions would last. When designing the new plant, it was decided to start with a single production line but to anticipate the addition of a second line at some future point in time.
