During the first six months of 2014 consolidated net sales increased by 6% to US$864 million, compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in net sales is explained by higher sales in Colombia.

In Colombia, during the second quarter our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased by 9%, 13% and 27%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2013. For the first six months of 2014, our domestic gray cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes increased by 20%, 17% and 32%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2013. Construction activity in the second quarter continued driven by residential, benefiting from the government-sponsored housing initiatives. Infrastructure remained an important driver for demand of our products with the execution of several ongoing projects that were awarded in past years. Panama

The decline in our cement, ready-mix and aggregates volumes was attributed to the effect of the construction workers strike during the second quarter, as well as to lower cement consumption from the Panama Canal expansion project. The residential sector, along with several commercial and ongoing infrastructure projects like Corredor Norte, contributed to demand for our products during the quarter.

For the first six months of 2014, our cement and aggregates volumes increased by 1% and 46%, respectively, while our ready-mix volumes declined by 3%, compared to the same period in 2013.

CLH to build grinding plant in Nicaragua

CLH announced it has started the construction of a new cement grinding plant in Ciudad Sandino, Managua, that is expected to increase its cement production capacity in Nicaragua by approximately 104%.

The investment is approximately US$55 million and will be completed in two phases, reaching an estimated annual cement production capacity of 860,000 tons by 2017.

During the first phase, US$30 million will be invested for infrastructure procurement and the installation of a cement grinding mill with a production capacity of approximately 220,000 tons. This phase is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2015. The second phase includes the installation of a second cement grinding mill with an annual production capacity of 220,000 tons and an investment of US$25 million, and is expected to be completed by the end of 2017.

“With this increase in production capacity, CLH strengthens its commitment to Nicaragua, creating the conditions to contribute to its development and ensuring the supply of one of the basic materials for housing and infrastructure construction in the country,” said Andres Jimenez, CLH Director in Nicaragua. “We contribute to Nicaragua’s development offering innovative building solutions that promote the welfare of its population.”

More than 200 direct and indirect jobs are expected to be created during the construction phase, with 100 direct and indirect jobs once operations are started.

Additionally, CLH will implement reforestation in the area and community support plans, starting with the launch of its Self-Employment Productions Centers or Centros Productivos de Auto Empleo (CPAs) program, whereby concrete blocks are produced for home improvement in collaboration with communities and local governments.
