Payment Terms

The majority of the Company’s purchases are initiated by the individual factories and overseen by the Procurement function. Under the standard terms operated, Forticrete Limited will pay for goods in the payment run which occurs in the first week following a period of 60 days since the receipt of the related invoice. Suppliers can contact Forticrete Limited to negotiate terms which differ from those employed as standard. Payment is dependent upon validated delivery of the goods and the correct invoicing by the Supplier. If Forticrete Limited has not been correctly invoiced by our standard terms’ payment date, payment will be made in the week following receipt of corrected invoicing.
