WITH the recent acquisition of Jamaica Aggregates by Amrize — a major United States-anchored building materials and construction solutions company listed on the New York Stock Exchange — there has been a further strengthening of the industrial and economic linkages between the two countries.

Jamaica Aggregates is a critical player in Jamaica’s economy through investment, jobs, revenues and the steady supply of materials essential to national infrastructure, housing and construction activity.

To mark the recent acquisition by Amrize, members of the Jamaica Aggregates management team made a courtesy call on chargé d’affaires at the US Embassy in Kingston, Scott Renner.
