CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX) announced today that Vertua®, its low carbon and net-zero CO2 products, is now available in Mexico after a successful introduction in Europe.
Vertua® is a milestone towards carbon-neutral construction becoming a reality. Since December 1, it is available in Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Cancun, Tijuana, León, Querétaro, Puebla, Mérida, and Mazatlán, and will be gradually available in the rest of Mexico.
