GCC was founded in 1941 with the incorporation of Cementos
de Chihuahua S.A. de C.V. At the beginning, the company had an annual 60,000 ton cement
production capacity, between 1952 and 1967, two expansions to cement production capacity
were made.
In 1972 the cement plant in Juarez City, Chihuahua,
started operations, allowing Cementos de Chihuahua, S.A. de C.V. to reach an installed cement
production capacity of 420,000 tons per year.
In 1974, a two-stage preheating and dust collector system was
installed in our plant in Chihuahua increasing cement production capacity by 90,000 tons per
year, and in 1982, a new cement production line started operations at said plant, using
state-of-the-art technology; this increased GCC's installed production capacity to
1.1 million tons per year.
