Adelaide Brighton (ABC) is a building product company that makes and distributes cement and cement products. “While residential house prices have been stabilising, building work still looks soft,” Julia says.

“The company expects residential construction activity to decline until 2021.

“New import competition in South Australia is making it tough for the company. Like many areas, Chinese product is cheaper and hence Adelaide Brighton has had to cut prices to combat competition from cheaper imports.

“A pick up in building construction would be a positive for this company,” she adds.
