USA: Lafarge cancels Joppa expansion

Lafarge North America has put an end to expansion plans at the Joppa Cement Plant, Massac County, Illinois. A spokeswoman for Lafarge, Robin De Carlo, said that the cancellation of plans to install a third kiln at the Illinois plant was due to the two kilns already in operation meeting current needs.

Lafarge purchased the Joppa Cement plant in 1991.
