Jamaica: Caribbean Cement Company has reported profit of US$37.9m for the year ending 31 December 2025, unchanged year-on-year despite the impact of Hurricane Melissa. The company posted record sales of US$202m, up by 13% from 2024, supported by a capacity expansion and stronger export volumes. The expansion commanded an investment of US$42m over three years and increased cement capacity by around 0.3Mt/yr to an estimated 1.3Mt/yr. The company said that it strengthened its ability to meet domestic demand, even in the face of the adverse impact of Hurricane Melissa. Earnings before taxation reached US$52.1m and operating earnings rose to US$50.7m.
“CCC is strategically positioned to support Jamaica’s rebuilding efforts following Hurricane Melissa, while continuing to advance the country’s broader development objectives. This export strategy is intended to optimise capacity utilisation, expand our regional footprint and generate foreign currency earnings for Jamaica.”
The company also cited kiln efficiency, reduced energy use and 1000 consecutive days without a lost-time safety incident as foundations for the year ahead.
