This year’s event – themed “Unbreakable bonds, Unstoppable journey, Our strength, INSEE” – held particular importance, given the intense challenges confronted by the construction sector in the past year.

In the past year, INSEE Cement added INSEE Sanstha Paint and INSEE Sanstha PVC products to its already impressive products portfolio. “As we broaden our product offerings, our business partners contribute to INSEE Cement’s ability to provide top-tier quality across our total product portfolio. I can say with pride that this is a testament to our collective dedication to innovation and excellence.”
