Lafarge renamed as Melon, new directors appointed

Lafarge Chile has ceased to exist. Its cement company in Chile has been renamed Melon SA, which was the name it used to have before Lafarge bought it. The firm's board has been expanded to ten members, as opposed to seven as Jorge Carey, Patricio de Solminihac and Juan Claro Gonzalez, all members of the previous board, have been appointed as directors. Lafarge's assets were acquired by Peruvian holding Brescia some time ago. The firm is building a new plant which will add an extra 600,000 tonnes per year of production capacity.
