Increase sales in the domestic market
Domestic cement sales increased, offset by lower prices and lower sales of solid fuels and other products, with total domestic sales up by 7.3%. The volumes of cement exports decreased, as did the selling prices, but were partially offset by the favorable development of the euro-dollar exchange rate and by the higher volumes of solid fuel exports. As a result, total exports decreased by 16.4%
According to relevant information, AGET Heracles is steadily implementing its strategy with new investments aimed at the continuous improvement of its environmental footprint and the transition to innovative and sustainable construction solutions, always respecting people, society, and the environment.
