• Equipment recently installed in a cement plant that has helped to improve production and reduce costs;

• The Latin American cement industry;

• Utilizing waste products in cement kilns;

• Marketing ideas that work for the cement industry;

• Innovative material-handling techniques at the cement plant or at terminals; and

• The impact environmental regulation may have on the cement industry.
