plant. Potential development in the Dominican Republic, mainly driven by growing housing and infrastructure deficit, has motivated new and significant

investments within the cement industry. For the countrys cement sector, the concept of continuous growth is inseparable from the industrys

contribution to the creation of sustainable society. Even though there are many challenges in this regard, none have so far undermined the belief that sustainability is fundamental to the viability of the sector, both now and in the future. Installed capacity The Domincan Republics cement industry began little more than six decades ago, and the level of development that it has experienced since then has been surprising. At present, seven cement manufacturers operate in several areas of the country. This includes Cemex, Domicem and Cementos Cibao, which produce clinker, and Argos Dominicana, Cementos Andino, Cementos Santo Domingo and, more recently, Cementos Panam, all four of which operate grinding plants. This unusual situation, given the size of the island, has resulted in the country having the largest cement production capacity per capita in the entire American continent, above large producers such as Mexico, Brazil and Colombia. The Dominican Cement Producers Association (ADOCEM) believes that, at this time, the level of overcapacity in the Dominican Republic (around 5%) cannot be found elsewhere in Latin America. In order to understand this peculiarity better, it should be noted that over the last 3 years cement production capacity in the country has grown at an average annual rate of 6%, and has accelerated in the last decade.
