Sector context
Building products and materials
Continuous or semi-continuous processing with seasonal demand and freight-sensitive economics.
Why the operating conditions matter
Asset utilisation and freight geography drive the economics. Demand is seasonal and weather-exposed, product is heavy relative to its value, and the service radius of a plant is a commercial fact rather than a logistics detail. Footprint questions dominate, and they are rarely answered by unit cost alone.
