“25 years ago, at Cementos Argos, we took our first steps outside of Colombia to grow, and one of those countries was the Dominican Republic, a territory that we keep on learning about every day. Since then, we have been shaping our great dream of having Colombia’s name stand tall all around the world, and of bringing the principles of integrity, honest work and the empathy and warmth culture of Colombians for service to millions of people. We are happy to celebrate this quarter of a century in the Dominican Republic and we are full of optimism and motivation to continue advancing in our purpose of contributing to the construction of dreams in the 16 countries where we are present,” said Camilo Restrepo, Vice President for the Caribbean and Central America Region.
During these years, Argos has been present in relevant works for development such as: the Santo Domingo Norte treatment plant (the largest in the Caribbean), the city and the Juan Bosch bridge, Circunvalacion avenue, La Barquita, Line II of the Metro, Las Americas Duty Free, among many other commercial, hotel and housing projects throughout the country.
In this territory, the company has a cement grinding operation and two concrete plants, which delivers outstanding solutions to its customers.
It is there where Argos produces and distributes grey and white cement for general and structural use, aggregates, concretes and ready mixes such as mortar for tile and ceramic glue, an extensive portfolio that allows the company to respond quickly and efficiently to market needs.
