THE DUST MAY have cleared from the cement war here in Barbados, but the same can’t be said about next door in Trinidad and Tobago.
Having made a big splash into the Barbados cement market in 2015, locally owned business Rock Hard Cement has now stuck its talons even further into the regional sector, taking a chunk of market share in Trinidad, St Vincent and St Lucia.
And according to chief executive officer and chairman Mark Maloney, the battle in Trinidad against the region’s largest cement producer Trinidad Cement Limited (TCL) is on.
“Trinidad is a very tough market. It’s very price-competitive. It’s the home base of TCL, and they have done everything they can to stop us from getting into the market. But we made sure we got into the market, and we have prevailed,” Maloney told the SUNDAY SUN.
