“Two words can be used to describe the international cement scene: globalization and consolidation. Both directly influence and affect the direction of the U.S. cement industry. Acquisitions of existing capacity — often at premium prices — have been restructuring domestic manufacture and marketing. Plant reinvestment, at historically record levels, is leading to substantial new production gains. Intragroup importing capabilities hold sourcing flexibility for determined positioning needs and schemes. A mix of these strategic considerations, for competitive purposes, is available to maximize company paybacks from prevailing product demands”- U.S. Cement

Ropa Corporation sees to it that the facilities maintain the following:

• A considerable reliability of the machines
• An outstanding maintenance that produces an elevated output.
• Our machines have proven to meet all the requirements coming from this sector with no compromise

Cement

Generates annual seaborne traffic of the order of 50 million tons – is virtually unique among internationally traded commodities in that, wherever it is produced, it is almost certainly of a known consistent standard. As a result, more or less any supplier could supply more or less any market – provided (given the relatively low value of this abundant material) the shipping cost is competitive. This is likely to hold true whether the cement is shipped in finished form or as the intermediate product, clinker.

Ethrel

Latex is obtained from the bark of the rubber tree by tapping. Tapping is a process of wounding during which thin shavings of the bark are removed to induce flow of latex.

A higher intensity of tapping often leads to brown bast, physiological disorder. However on older trees, intensive tapping is practiced. Synthetic hormones are also used to stimulate yield. A new yield stimulant “Ethrel” when applied almost doubles the yield of rubber.

Ropa Corporation is the only supplier of Ethrel to West Africa. Ropa Corporation is determined to see to it that the needs of the rubber industry are met.
