CemNet Newsroom reported on 24th May 2018 that Chile-based Cemento Melón has increased its first-quarter earnings by 12 per cent to US$7m when compared with 1Q17, despite lower cement sales volumes. Efforts have been maintained to contain fixed costs, logistics and administration in all units of the company.

Whitehopleman’s associate, Rob Sharman, was factory manager at Cemento Melón for many years so it is always good to hear business is going well.
