AGGREGATES DIVISION
Alia Aggregates specializes in supplying high quality processed and unprocessed stone material.
Our plant is located in Panama West, Corregimiento Guadalupe, La Valdeza Sector, La Chorrera.
The main raw material for the production of our aggregates is basaltic stone, which guarantees the physical and chemical characteristics of the material used in standard concrete and high strength. Our rigorous quality control is present in every stage of the production process, from extraction to delivery.
Panama West Sector Plant, La Chorrera
Located in La Valdeza, with quick access to the Arraiján-La Chorrera highway, which facilitates prompt and efficient distribution in the western area
