Global Cement Magazine, May 2026

The May 2026 issue of Global Cement Magazine is loaded with US-centric content to tie in with its distribution at the IEEE-IAS/ACA Cement Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Most prominently, we join ACA President and CEO Mike Ireland to look back on almost a decade as head of the organisation ahead of his forthcoming retirement. The issue also hears from the ACA’s Market Intelligence Leader Brian Schmidt and Ed Sullivan from The Sullivan Report, both of whom discuss the US cement market. There’s also an ‘outsider’s’ view of the US cement market from Peru’s UNACEM.

Elsewhere, there are technical features on bypass dust and valves, plus an interview with Kemex-Ingesoa, the Spanish bulk handling expert, and a report from the recent Cement Alliance Summit in Germany. Last, but by no means least, Loesche CEO Rüdiger Zerbe gives a rare interview about his company’s past, present and future.
