The second edition of the Italia-México Award ceremony organized by the Italian Chamber of Commerce in México was held on 18 November 2010 at the Italian Embassy in Mexico City.
Enrico Buzzi, a board member of Corporación Moctezuma, received the Honor Award for his work for over 20 years to promote trade relations between Italy and Mexico by developing the country’s cement industry.
The award was presented by the Italian Ambassador to Mexico, Roberto Spinelli, and the President of the Italian Chamber of Commerce, Marco Cannizzo, during a press conference that was followed by a gala evening.
Buzzi Unicem has been investing heavily in Mexico and helping to develop its cement industry with a series of organic growth projects since the 1990s through Corporación Moctezuma, a joint venture with the Spanish group Cementos Molins.
Corporación Moctezuma now has three plants in Mexico which are among the most modern in the world and has a total production capacity of around six million metric tons per year. The plants are located in Tepetzingo (Morelos), Cerritos (San Luis Potosí) and Apazapan (Veracruz), which was inaugurated on Saturday, 27 November 2010, with Fidel Herrera, State Governor, in attendance.
