Sonee Cement

The Maldives has faced a prolonged cement shortage due to global supply chain disruptions exacerbated by ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. This has led to a downturn in the construction industry, halting numerous projects and leaving contractors and the public concerned over both the lack of supply and the quality of available cement.

In response to these challenges, Sonee Hardware has stepped forward to revitalize the construction sector by launching "Sonee Cement." The company describes this high-quality product as a reliable solution that will address the industry's pressing concerns and meet the highest international standards.

Positive Impact on Market and Pricing

The cement shortage had previously driven market prices to extreme highs. However, with the introduction of Sonee Cement, prices have begun to stabilize at affordable rates, providing immediate financial relief to customers.

One of the biggest outcomes of this launch is the renewed momentum it offers the stagnant construction industry. By eliminating the need to purchase cement at inflated prices, developers can now complete projects within their original budgets. Sonee Hardware has assured customers of a consistent supply, confirming that they have imported a stockpile to prevent future shortages.

Quality and Eco-Friendly Features

Sonee Cement is positioned as a premium, high-performance product with a strength class of 42.5N, making it ideal for large-scale, durable construction projects. It is also the first eco-friendly "low carbon" cement introduced to the Maldives, offering a sustainable solution that benefits both the economy and the environment.

Robust Packaging and Logistics Support

Available in 50kg bags, Sonee Cement features double-layered packaging designed to prevent clumping and maintain product integrity during long-distance sea transport to various islands. For large-scale projects requiring bulk quantities, the company also offers delivery in jumbo bags, streamlining logistics for major contractors.

Easy to Purchase

To ensure a seamless experience, Sonee Hardware has simplified the purchasing and logistics process. Customers can easily order Sonee Cement by calling the hotline at 3336699 or by messaging any of Sonee Hardware’s official online channels.
