“In order to support this new Agreement, the continued growth of cellular concrete markets and the expected additional growth to be generated from this new increased working relationship, CEMATRIX intends to construct two new dry mix units, at an estimated cost of $2.5 million and plans to have them operational by the spring of 2017.”
