世界第三大水泥生產商，墨西哥的CEMEX公司于近日宣布，為適應較高的原材料成本，將上調其在墨西哥的袋裝水泥價格至138比索每噸（約合9.5美元 ）。
CEMEX經營范圍覆蓋全球50多個國家和地區，墨西哥是CEMEX公司最大的市場之一。CEMEX于今年2月1日正式在墨西哥地區提高水泥價格。
針對于此，CEMEX向路透社透露，提價原因主要因為“生產水泥的主要原材料的成本增長速度高于市場價格”。
坐落在蒙特雷的CEMEX宣布，它的散裝水泥價格每噸提高了92比索，但拒絕透露增加的百分比或任何進一步的細節。
記者咨詢經銷商了解到，此次提價當于增加了7%。在提價以前，一包水泥的價格大約是2100比索。
Cemex在墨西哥是占主導地位的水泥生產商，由于在美國和歐洲市場銷售低迷，加上全球金融危機引起的信貸緊縮，使其目前掙扎于一個大的債務陰影之中。

Cemex hikes Mexican cement prices
Mexico's Cemex, the world's third largest cement producer, said on Tuesday it had increased its domestic bagged cement prices by 138 pesos ($9.5) a tonne, citing higher raw material costs.
Cemex (CX.N) (CMXCPO.MX), which operates in more than 50 countries, said the price increases took effect on Feb. 1 in Mexico, one of its biggest markets.
"The cost of the main raw materials to produce cement have grown at a faster rate than the market price," Cemex said in an email to Reuters.
Monterrey-based Cemex said it hiked bulk cement prices by 92 pesos a tonne, although it declined to give the increase as a percentage or any further details.
Cement distributors consulted by Reuters said the hikes amounted to a 7 percent increase. Before the price increases, a bag of cement was around 2,100 pesos.
Cemex, the dominant cement maker in Mexico, is struggling with a large debt load, slumping sales in its U.S. and European markets and tight credit amid the global financial crisis.
