&lt;p&gt;&lt;img vspace=&quot;5&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; src=&quot;/image/view/1810&quot; /&gt;The third largest cement manufacturer in the world, CEMEX decided it
needed to move from selling materials to selling solutions. With low
fixed prices, materials on credit, pre-costed housing designs, and even
supervised construction services for Mexicans working abroad, CEMEX
makes housing affordable and possible for the poor in Mexico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
