Detailed Product Description

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in our company as your source of CEMENT!

We are a 100% LEGITIMATE AMERICAN TRADING CORPORATION in business since May, 2005 -- based out of New Jersey, USA and Florida, USA -- trading with multiple clients and suppliers around the world.

If you are looking for REAL CEMENT from a REAL SOURCE, look no further - you have found a REAL SOURCE with REAL CEMENT!

WE ARE DIRECT REPRESENTATIVES -- OFFICIAL SALES & MARKETING ARM -- FOR A 23-YEARS OLD GROUP OF AMERICAN COMPANIES PROVIDING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES WORLDWIDE - LARGELY FOCUSED ON ENERGY AND INDUSTRIAL COMMODITIES.

Our cement is sourced directly from some of the largest cement manufacturing companies in the world - including pre-arranged agreements and informal business relationships.  Given such circumstances, we not only have access to large volumes and different grades, but we also have preferential pricing and availability throughout multiple cement plants in different countries - subject to fluctuations from time to time.


SOME INTERESTING CEMENT FACTS:

* 2008 WORLDWIDE CEMENT PRODUCTION:  2.9 BILLION M/T (ACCORDING TO THE USA GOVERNMENT DATA - APROX.)

* WORLD'S LARGEST SINGLE CEMENT MANUFACTURER:  LAFARGE (APROX. 2007 CEMENT PRODUCTION:  150 MILLION M/T)

Very interesting, uh??  Does it make more sense how a particular RESELLER may actually provide more cement to a single client than the largest single manufacturers??  Also with such better prices??  This is a very interesting fact!!
