Grupo Lamosa receives rating from Moody's
Grupo Lamosa reports that during the second quarter of the year, it conducted a credit rating exercise with the rating agency Moody's Local Mexico, obtaining a rating of "AA+.mx" on the local long-term scale. This rating corresponds to high-quality obligations and is subject to very low credit risk.
The assignment of Grupo Lamosa's rating by Moody's Local Mexico was based on factors such as its solid competitive position, being the second-largest ceramic tiles company worldwide, and its strong market share in the adhesives and insulating and lightening materials businesses in Mexico. The rating also reflects its extensive product portfolio, its high geographical diversification, its high levels of profitability and cash flow generation, as well as a moderate leverage ratio.
Grupo Lamosa is a Mexican company with a track record of over 130 years in the construction industry. It operates through its ceramic tiles, adhesives, and insulating and lightening materials businesses and has a presence in 9 countries, both in the Americas and in Europe since 2021.
