Caribbean Cement Company has said that maintenance to "improve efficiency and consistent packaging of the company’s products" as a result of equipment upgrading required in the packaging area will be undertaken over the Easter weekend.
Hardware merchants and dealers had last week reported that they were unable to meet demand because of a lack of supply from the cement producer, which confirmed the shortage in the retail trade.
Since then, "most of the issues we were having have been addressed", Corporate Communication and Public Relations Manager Sophia Lowe Pinnock told local publication Gleaner Business.
