CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.

During the project, CEMEX received support from its subsidiary Neoris, a global business and IT consulting firm with extensive experience in SAP integrations. “We are proud to have participated in the implementation of this important project for CEMEX’s operations” said Claudio Muruzabal, CEO of Neoris.
