Welcome to NatCem News Issue 3

In every issue we emphasize safety. It is that important for all of us, and it’s a matter of personal importance to me and our management team. We have outstanding talent in the company working on our safety programs and processes. That’s good.

But at the end of the day, safety is everyone’s job. It is up to each of us to keep ourselves safe and look out for our fellow employees. That is immensely important on the job, just as it is important with our families and friends outside of work.

In this issue, you’ll also learn how we continue to build out our positions in key markets in the Southeast, where the business environment is dynamic. We are fortunate that our parent company, Vicat, continues to provide the capital that allows us to grow and expand in both the cement and ready-mix sides of the business. Our people have taken these opportunities and have made the most of them.

Even though there is always some uncertainty about the economy and the future, the bottom line is that our company is in a good place and is well-positioned.

We stand for quality, and we build long-term relationships with our customers based on that quality and high-level service. It’s a winning formula that benefits all of us.

I wish you and your families a happy holiday season, and I thank you for the important roles you are playing in our success together.
