US: Continental Building Products' net sales have rise by 21% year-on-year to US$111m in the first quarter for 2016 from US$92m in the same period in 2015. Its wallboard sales volumes have grown by 32% to 57Mm2 from 44Mm2.
"Our wallboard volumes in the first quarter increased substantially from prior year due to strong underlying demand, favourable weather speeding up completion of projects, and pre-buy activity in advance of the April 1 price increase," said Jay Bachmann, Continental's chief executive officer.
