CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: CX) announced today the winners of
“INTEGRATE your ideas”, the company’s Global Sourcing Suppliers
Innovation Program. From a pool of 22 international participants,
CEMEX selected three ideas mainly for their innovation, potential
financial contribution to the company’s operations, ease of
implementation, and degree of scalability in different
countries.
The ideas submitted by suppliers were critically examined
through a two-stage assessment. First, 53 Global Procurement
executives and Procurement country heads conducted an in-depth
review of the concepts presented. Second, a group of 20 experts
from several areas across CEMEX performed a thorough analysis of
the proposed solutions.
Winning Ideas
1st Place
GE Industrial Solutions (USA)
Idea: “Electrical Products Bundle for Construrama Stores”,
bundles for sale at CEMEX distribution network, including
electrical products: safety switch, load centers, and breakers. The
solution is presented as a complete and integrated offer for
clients in one convenient place.
2nd Place
Redecam (Italy)
Idea: “Integrated Solution for CO2 Capture”, through a bag
filter system with algae in saltwater that is able to treat a
cement plant’s process gas when exposed to sunlight and is then
transformed into ethanol, gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. This idea
was developed in partnership with Algenol, a worldwide industrial
biotechnology company.
3rd Place
Magnesita (Brazil)
Idea: “Zebra Stripe Linings”, a refractory arrangement that
combines the elasticity of a spinel-bonded system with the high
thermal load capacity and coating adhesion of a direct-bonded
dolomite system to improve refractory life in a kiln’s lower
thermal zone region.
