21st EQUITY COMMODITIES INTRODUCES COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS TO GLOBAL CEMENT SUPPLY CHAIN MARKET TO MEET GROWING DEMAND BY CEMENT BUYERS, COMMODITY TRADERS, BROKERS AND BUILDING CONTRACTING COMPANIES

CARSON CITY, NEVADA (PRWEB) January 21, 2009 -- 21^st EQUITY HOMES MANUFACTURING INC. (21^st Equity) a precast home manufacturer and official Mandate Holder for global cement supply offers Cement Buyers and Commodity Traders cost effective solutions for the global supply of Portland Cement.

Following months of speculation, it has now been confirmed that 21st Equity Group has been appointed as an official mandate holder of major cement producers and allocation holders and is able to supply hundreds of millions of tons of cement to a global network of commodity traders, agents and direct cement buyers.

Once again, 21st Equity CEO Steve Schurmann identified a market need and provided a solution, this time in the unregulated and global in demand cement supply industry. With global demand for cement increasing, shortage of availability of stock together with rising costs of cement, the timing of 21st Equitys launch of its global cement supply chain could not have been more appropriate.

CEO Steve Schurmann says The market turmoil which has plagued global businesses has not had much effect on the demand for cement. Our research over the last few months focused on demand for cement along with meeting global needs of agents seeking to meet their client demands. It was this need, and insufficient supply to meet demand, which resulted in 21st Equity Group negotiating highly beneficial mandates with capacities of hundreds of millions of metric tons of cement per annum. Not only do we meet demand but our pricing structures are highly competitive.

For years the cement industry has been unable to offer direct cement buyers or agents and brokers a source to meet their own or their client needs. The daily requests for assistance to supply cement received from cement buyers and brokers was evidence enough that a demand for cement existed, especially to supply cement agents and brokers along with commodity traders says Schurmann.

After just a number of days of research it was clear that there are literally thousands of cement agents, brokers and commodity traders who were all searching for suitable suppliers of cement, with no solution in sight. All too often cement buyers are dealing with multiple agents or middle men brokers or commodity traders, which complicate transactions, many of which result in failure and non-delivery; thereby ultimately leaving the client high and dry.

21st Equity has sought to fill this gap in the marketplace by way of giving cement buyers, agents and commodity traders the comfort of knowing that they are dealing with a mandate holder; thereby giving them the ability to service their clients with confidence knowing that delivery is not questionable and pricing is highly favourable says 21st Equity CEO Steve Schurmann.

During our research into the market it was evident that overpricing is rife. Under no circumstances do we support the practice of overpricing in the cement industry. 21st Equity prides itself on its commitment to capping its pricing structure to its clients at cost plus a maximum of US$ 2. Therefore, irrespective of how many brokers, agents or commodity traders there are in the chain there is only US$ 2 per metric ton commission, period! were the words of CEO Steve Schurmann. It is this approach that has proved our biggest success as real buyers appreciate our transparent protocol and procedures.

Knowing full well the answer to the question, Mr. Schurmann said I ask you, which purchaser of cement such as a government, building contractor, municipality or anyone else could turn down an offer to pay cost price plus a maximum of US$ 2? This is the 21st Equity value proposition to the marketplace and I know it has taken the market by storm!

For example, how can any CEO or Managing Director place an order for say 2 million metric tons of cement and pay US$ 5 more per metric ton through over-pricing to a chain of greedy brokers? The saving of this over-pricing alone equates to US$ 10 million! No company in the world has such an amount of money to waste in brokers commissions, especially if the only thing the broker did was to forward an email to the next broker in the chain... It impacts directly on any companys bottom line and certainly pays a lot of company bills. Company CEOs and buyers of cement are not fools. Treat them correctly and they will support you on an ongoing basis. Take them the 21st Equity value proposition and see the results. Says Mr. Schurmann.

21st Equity Group has embarked on a global drive to create awareness amongst all cement buyers, and intelligent agents, cement brokers and commodity traders that 21st Equity Group is an official mandate holder and supplier of Portland cement globally at highly favourable pricing structures. 21st Equity has responded to market requests to ensure high quality of supply in its cement offering. Therefore, 21st Equity CEO Steve Schurmann has confirmed that he has to meet his clients wishes and therefore he has ensured to source and deliver cement, only according to International Standards and including all certificates as laid out below FREE of charge!
