BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. and BOSTON, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Gilman and Pastor, LLP filed a class action lawsuit on October 30, 2009 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida on behalf of all individuals or entities who purchased Portland Cement or Ready Mix Concrete in Florida directly from any of the Defendants, including Cemex Corp., Florida Rock Industries, Inc., Holcim (US), Inc., Lafarge North America, Inc., Lehigh Cement Company, Suwannee American Cement LLC, Titan America LLC and Votorantim Cimentos North America, Inc., Oldcastle Materials and also includes all of their wholly owned subsidiaries, including but not limited to: Prestige AB Ready Mix, Inc., Anderson Columbia Co., American Cement Co., Preferred Materials, Continental Florida Materials, Rinker Materials and Tarmac America. The Proposed Class is seeking treble damages and injunctive relief under Section 1 of the Sherman Act.

Kenneth G. Gilman, Partner and Co-Founder of Gilman and Pastor's Antitrust Practice Group stated, "We intend to prosecute vigorously on behalf of our clients who have been hurt as a result of this major price fixing scandal which we allege has spanned a decade from 2000 to the present."

Plaintiffs allege that Defendants eliminated competition in the markets for Cement and Concrete by charging artificially high prices for these products in Florida and elsewhere from at least January 1, 2000 to the present. Plaintiffs further allege that Defendants facilitated this conspiracy through in-person meetings, telephone conversations, and other communications. The complaint details the specific employees who participated in the conspiracy as well as the locations at which illegal pricing was discussed.
