Public letter to Tarmac 2022

Details

The CMA has written to Tarmac because Tarmac sent data on the volume of cement clinker production for one of its sites to a trade association. This is a breach of Article 3.7 of the Order.

The data on the volume of cement clinker production falls within the definition specified in the Order as being Individual Cement Market Data. Article 3.7 of the Order prohibits cement producers such as Tarmac from disclosing Individual Cement Market Data except in specified circumstances.

This letter also sets out the action Tarmac is taking to prevent a recurrence.
