France-based cement company Lafarge reportedly reached a deal to sell its Honduras-based unit to Colombia’s Cementos Argos in a $306 million transaction. The move, say reports, is part of Lafarge’s efforts to reduce debts.
The Colombian company will acquire Lafarge’s 53.3 percent ownership; Cementos Argos similarly bought Lafarge’s US assets in 2011.
