CEMEX anticipates producing nearly $400 million of annual EBITDA in 2023 of its bolt-on purchases, margin improvement projects, as well as its 10 million metric tons of latest cement capacity.

These new additions are expected to be finished by 2023, with 5 million metric tonnes (mt) of cement capacity in Mexico, 2.3 million in the South, Central America and the Caribbean region, 1.5 million in the Philippines, and 1 million in Europe.

All these additions would be structured to take into consideration CEMEX's climate action priority.
