## Company history

CEMEX began doing business in 1906 and was registered in Monterrey, Mexico, on June 11, 1920. It adopted the name Cementos Mexicanos, S.A. in 1931. [24](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P154214925) The company went public on the Mexican Stock Exchange in 1976, then expanded its position in Mexico through the acquisitions of Cementos Anáhuac in 1987 and Tolteca in 1989. [25](https://www.cemex.com/documents/d/cemex/cx05eng)

CEMEX began a major international expansion in the late 1980s. [26](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P154214937) It completed its merger with U.S. cement producer Southdown in 2000, acquired RMC in 2005, and gained control of Australian building-materials company Rinker in 2007—milestones that broadened its geographic reach and building-materials business.
