Guided by Our VC Way values of Open Dialogue, Customer Focus, and Lasting Results, we take pride in building lasting relationships and delivering quality you can count on. As part of the Votorantim Cimentos family, we combine decades of local experience with the innovation and strength of a global leader, working together to build what’s next.
When a pour is scheduled, everything on site is staged around it. Crews, pumps, and formwork are ready and waiting, and the concrete has to be too. At Canada Building Materials, we understand what is at stake in those moments, and our ready mix concrete capabilities have been developed to meet this responsibility with confidence.
Quality is a non-negotiable promise driven by our value of Customer Focus, and we partner with you to solve site-specific challenges to deliver on this promise. Our teams Act with Ownership, taking personal accountability for every mix to ensure it stands up to local climate conditions and regulatory standards.
Every load is supported by the Votorantim Cimentos Production System, or VCPS, our standardized industrial model designed to deliver consistent, lasting results across every plant. Built around eight priority pillars — Mining, Quality, Production, Maintenance, People, Industrial Management, Safety, and Environment. VCPS helps us maintain strong operational discipline while continuing to look for better ways to serve you. This system helps us track performance, measure results, and identify new opportunities to improve at each site.
Through the Engemix app, you can monitor your ready-mix trucks in real-time and schedule pours with more certainty. We Act with Ownership in every delivery, working to ensure it arrives on schedule.
With one of the largest strategic footprints across Ontario, we offer shorter transit times that keep your project on schedule while minimizing our environmental footprint. We do not just provide a service; we provide the operational certainty required for your most complex projects.
Our trucks are maintained to handle high-volume, time-sensitive placements, from high-rise residential and commercial construction to civil infrastructure and mass concrete. Each truck is dispatched from the plant nearest to your site, keeping travel times as predictable as possible and maintaining integrity on arrival.
We are in a continuous process of transformation to meet the world’s current and future needs.
• Decarbonization Roadmap: We’ve evaluated over 40 initiatives to reduce our environmental carbon footprint.
• Low Carbon Concrete: Our performance concrete mixes utilize clinker substitutes like slag and fly ash to significantly lower embodied carbon.
• Spectra Concrete: We offer specialized products like Spectra concrete, which provides a footprint 15.5% lower than conventional mixes while maintaining high-modulus elasticity.
CBM’s technical team works with you directly to develop custom concrete mix designs for your specific structural and placement conditions. From high-strength concrete mixes for tower cores to self-consolidating solutions for complex formed work, we build the mix around the job.
To further enhance our performance concrete mixes, we offer a full suite of specialized solutions:
• Portland Limestone Cement (PLC): Marketed as Blendture, this accounts for 50% of our North American production and is key to our carbon-neutral 2050 ambition.
• Waterproofing: Our Votomassa line offers high-performance polymer mortars to protect swimming pools, tanks, and drinking water reservoirs.
• EkoCrete: This line utilizes high-quality slag and fly ash to lower embodied carbon without sacrificing heavy-duty strength.
Our sales and technical teams are available across all three regional divisions. Whether you are planning an upcoming project or working through a specification challenge, we are ready to help.
