“At CEMEX, we constantly strive to deliver a superior customer experience. In Munich, we had to guarantee that the
concrete was available just in time at the place of installation, with minimum to no disruption in the area around the
construction site,” said Uwe Lange, Director Key Accounts Materials Central Europe of CEMEX in Germany. (Photo: Business

CEMEX participated in the first phase of the expansion project, supplying over 105,000 cubic meters of concrete through an agile
solution: a mobile on-site mixing plant. The large building project, with a gross floor area of more than 150,000-square-meter,
required the delivery of large quantities of concrete in a relatively short period, for which CEMEX utilized a special twin-shaft
compulsory mixer that enabled the company to produce an uninterrupted supply of approximately 90 cubic meters of concrete per
hour.
“At CEMEX, we constantly strive to deliver a superior customer experience. In an overloaded market such as Munich, we had to
guarantee that the concrete was available just in time at the place of installation, with minimum to no disruption in the area
around the construction site,” said Uwe Lange, Director Key Accounts Materials Central Europe of CEMEX in Germany. “Our on-site
mixing plants enable us to ensure targeted economic concrete supply for large construction sites, while offering the same quality
and wide range of materials as in our fixed concrete plants.”
Sustainability also played a key role when choosing a mobile-plant over a fixed concrete plant for the BMW Group’s project.
Mobile plants not only allow for shorter transportation routes, reducing CO2 emissions, but also reduce traffic
congestion significantly around the construction site, minimizing the impact of such a large-scale project.
