"Now that the Tribunal's decision is public, Mexico can no longer hide behind a false account of what happened. The Tribunal found that Mexico violated international law, acted arbitrarily, without good faith and transparency, and denied Vulcan basic due process. Mexico may continue to distort the decision, but it cannot change the facts.

The International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) Tribunal published its decision confirming that the Government of Mexico violated international law through its arbitrary and unfair treatment of Vulcan Materials Co. and its investments in Quintana Roo. The decision directly con...

“It’s a booming market here,” said Jay Shafer, the owner of Shafer Equipment. “When companies move in, employees follow, and that drives the need for homes, apartments, schools and infrastructure. That level of growth requires serious excavation work, and our contractors need high-performing machines that keep moving.”

When 50-year construction equipment veteran Jay Shafer went looking for heavy machinery to fuel the West’s historic building boom, he didn’t rely on sales brochures. He and his lead mechanics spent an entire day at ConExpo-Con/Agg in March crawling under, over and through iron to find equipment ...
