Amrize embraces ‘Made in Canada’ labels

Key Takeaways:

• Amrize launched a “Made in Canada” label across its Canadian cement network, certifying over 90% domestic content under Competition Bureau rules.
• The company’s Saint-Constant, Que., facility near Montreal will carry the official “Manufactured in Québec” certification.
• Amrize operates 450 sites and employs more than 7,500 workers across all 10 Canadian provinces.

The Whole Story:

Building materials producer Amrize is rolling out a “Made in Canada” label across its domestic cement manufacturing network to verify domestic production and material content for local builders.

The designation confirms that the cement is produced domestically with more than 90% Canadian content, adhering to Competition Bureau of Canada guidelines. The rollout spans Amrize’s manufacturing facilities nationwide, including plants in Richmond, B.C., Exshaw, Alta., Bath, Ont., and Brookfield, N.S., while its Saint-Constant facility outside Montreal will carry the “Manufactured in Québec” designation overseen by Les Produits du Québec.

The labelling initiative comes as Ottawa pledges $51 billion over the next decade through its Building Communities Strong Fund to support transit, healthcare facilities, and infrastructure for new housing developments. Amrize has recently undertaken capital upgrades across its Canadian operations, including a major modernization project at its Saint-Constant cement plant near Montreal.

“We are proud to be Canada’s largest cement manufacturer and this label reflects our commitment to serving Canada’s builders as a true local partner, offering Canadian-made quality, supporting local jobs and communities,” said Cory Cannon, Senior Vice-President, Canada Cement Commercial, at Amrize. “As Canada invests in its future from critical infrastructure, energy and industry to transportation and housing, locally produced materials are more essential than ever.”
