Héctor Enrique Escalante Ochoa, Chief Executive Officer of Grupo Cementos de Chihuahua, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV:GCC *) said, "GCC has already surpassed our goal of bringing leverage below 2.0x. This is the board directive for the long-term, steady-state leverage minimum -- maximum, I'm sorry. This is what gives us the flexibility to pursue attractive growth opportunities that meet at our strategic criteria."
