Lo­cal ce­ment man­u­fac­tur­er Trinidad Ce­ment Lim­it­ed (TCL) has gen­er­at­ed close to US$4 mil­lion in for­eign ex­change earn­ings dur­ing the month of Ju­ly, a his­toric achieve­ment that un­der­scores TCL’s grow­ing re­gion­al foot­print and its piv­otal role in T&T’s man­u­fac­tur­ing land­scape.

In ad­di­tion to the record-break­ing Ju­ly per­for­mance, TCL re­port­ed a 44 per cent in­crease in its month­ly av­er­age ex­port rev­enue for the Jan­u­ary to Ju­ly 2025 pe­ri­od, com­pared to the same time­frame in 2024.

In a state­ment yes­ter­day, the com­pa­ny said the suc­cess is be­ing hailed as a sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tion to the na­tion­al econ­o­my, par­tic­u­lar­ly in sup­port­ing for­eign ex­change gen­er­a­tion, a crit­i­cal need in the cur­rent eco­nom­ic cli­mate.
