  Mexican Cement Maker With a Worldview - New York Times

Zambrano became chief executive of the company his grandfather founded, he has turned Cemex from a provincial cement company into the country's first home-grown multinational, with operations in 30 countries on five continents.

 Wired 10.07: Cemex
Cemex also sells dry, bagged cement through thousands of small distributors, most of which are online, allowing Zambrano to track their needs and do a little ecommerce.
With data at their fingertips, special teams are able to search out the best practices in every corner of the organization: Cemex's system of tracking costs was developed by managers in Venezuela; its concrete formula was discovered when the company first acquired its Spanish subsidiary.
Zambrano admits that good timing has played a part in the firm's success.

Zambrano was hit with a 58 percent countervailing duty when the International Trade Commission ruled that the U.S. producers had been hurt by the prices Cemex and other Mexican producers were charging--despite the fact that cement in Arizona and California was selling for the same price that Cemex charged.
Zambrano was an outspoken proponent of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), although he admitted that the opening of the Mexican economy would be damaging to many of their industries not well-prepared in the areas of managerial expertise, technology, and marketing.
In 1992 Zambrano negotiated a bridge loan from Citicorp, among others, for the acquisition of majority holdings in the two largest Spanish cement companies--Valenciana and Sanson--spending $1.84 billion, and causing Cemex stock to plummet because of investors' fears that the company was expanding too rapidly.

Lorenzo Zambrano, the boss of Cemex since 1985, has built up his company from a middle-sized cement company—not even the largest in Mexico when he took over—to a world powerhouse with operations in more than 50 countries.
But what distinguishes Mr Zambrano from Mr Slim and other Mexican tycoons is that he has not merely used a fortune built up in Mexico to make investments elsewhere, but has developed a Mexican firm into a world leader.
Though Cemex was founded in 1906 by his grandfather and the Zambrano family still owns a substantial chunk of the stock, he worked at the company for 18 years before taking the top job.

 Context December 2001/January 2002 Issue -- Feature: The Cement Mixer
Lorenzo Zambrano, chairman and chief executive, uses more or less the same process that his grandfather used when he founded the business in 1906: Steam shovels scoop up the quarried material and dump it into freight cars that then coast down to a nearby plant.
After all, Zambrano has his roots in the plants at Cemex, where he began work as a teenager during summers in the early 1960s while attending the nearby Monterrey Institute of Technology—one of the country’s most prestigious universities, consciously modeled after that other MIT, in Cambridge, Mass.
When Zambrano joined the company full time, after earning his M.B.A. at Stanford in 1968, he was immediately put in charge of an inefficient plant in Torreon, about 200 miles west of Monterrey, where he devised a technique that cut three hours off the production time for an important intermediate cement product.

Zambrano, son of CEMEX cement company chair Lorenzo Zambrano, claimed Dominguez defamed him by reporting that a dolphin recently died at one of his facilities.
“Zambrano was forced to drop all criminal charges against Dominguez [and co-defendants] Sara Rincon, head of the Association to Protect Animals of Cancun, Cecilia Navarro from Greenpeace Mexico, Ben White of the Animal Welfare Institute, five local reporters, and Yolanda Alaniz from Comarino,” the Ecoterra announcement continued.
The Zambrano action against Dominguez revived attention not only to the plight of the dolphins in Cancun, but also to the reportedly deteriorating circumstances of 44 dolphins, captured at the same time, who remain in a sea pen in the Solomons.

In the 15 years that Zambrano has been at the helm of Mexico's largest cement company, he has religiously used modem technology and an aggressive acquisition strategy to transform the company and keep it competitive.
Unabashed, Zambrano called the deal a "compelling investment opportunity" that "demonstrates our confidence in Cemex's strong capital structure." It was also a coup, considering that several of Cemex's competitors had been courting Southdown.
Then, as now, Zambrano was determined to drag Cemex onto the world stage by pushing it to the cutting edge of corporate practices.

The villages are widely scattered, surviving on cattle and goat-herding or the ancient trade of extracting wax from the candelilla plants that grow wild in the desert.
When Lorenzo Zambrano thinks of the Sierra El Carmen, he dreams of a Mexican Yellowstone, where mountain lions stalk javelina among tall cottonwoods and Mexican cherry trees, and where bighorn sheep square off among the sotol and agaves.
For Zambrano, who sits at the helm of the Mexican corporate colossus CEMEX, the third largest cement producer in the world, it's not a far-fetched dream.
