Carib Cement says heavy rainfall impacting production

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Caribbean Cement Company says continued heavy rainfall has impacted its operations, creating challenges with raw material conditions and contributing to some equipment and process disruptions that temporarily affected production levels.

In a press release on Wednesday, the company said some delays persist due to heightened demand and ongoing adverse weather, but assured that efforts are underway to restore optimal production.

Over this past weekend, it said dedicated teams worked extensively to address the issues, implementing measures to stabilise affected equipment and improve operating conditions.

It added that work continues to fully resolve the remaining constraints, with additional measures being put in place to strengthen processes and enhance overall supply reliability.

“We assure our stakeholders that this situation is receiving the highest priority. The company remains fully committed to reliably serving the local market while maintaining the highest standards of service,” Carib Cement said.
