The client is a construction materials company based in Querétaro with distribution channels in central Mexico. Before adopting AAC technology, they mainly supplied concrete blocks and mortar. With Mexico’s rising demand for lightweight, seismic-resistant, and thermally insulated building materials, the company aimed to expand into AAC manufacturing.
Customer’s Key Requirements
- Medium-capacity AAC block plant suitable for regional supply
- Automated production to reduce labor costs
- High cutting precision to meet Mexico City’s seismic construction standards
- Ability to produce popular sizes such as 15×20×60 cm e 12×20×60 cm
- Energy-efficient equipment suited for warm climates
- Complete installation, training, and commissioning support
After comprehensive technical discussions, site planning analyses, and cost evaluations, the customer decided to purchase our 180,000 m³/year fully automatic AAC production line.
Recommended Solution — 180,000 m³/year Medium AAC Plant
We recommended a Planta de CCA média (100,000–200,000 m³/year) because it fits perfectly with Mexico’s current AAC market size.
Why Medium AAC Plant Is Ideal for Mexico
- Suitable for fast-growing regional markets like Querétaro, Guanajuato, Puebla
- Balanced investment cost: USD 1.2–2.3 million
- Flexible production volume
- Meets the needs of developers and distributors
- Provides strong ROI due to Mexico’s increasing AAC adoption
