Beginning as early as 2010, Buzzi Unicem USA intends to begin a US$20m project to replace the plant’s existing finish mills with a new state of the art finish mill.
According to Robert Sagmeister, the engineering process for the finish mill installation is nearing completion and as a part of that process, plans are being drawn to incorporate the new finish into the ultimate goal of a US$300m plant modernisation and production expansion project. Although the US$300m plant expansion project announced in June 2008 is on hold due to the worldwide economy, the finish mill project is a significant investment and positive step for the Maryneal plant, particularly during these difficult economic times.
Nolan County Judge, Tim Fambrough noted, “The Maryneal cement plant has been a significant employer in Nolan County for 57 years and we are pleased that Buzzi Unicem is taking steps to continue that relationship for another 50 years."
