Lafarge to build plant in Bordeaux

Lafarge Ciments, the cement division of the eponymous French building materials group, is to invest more than 20m euros in its new slag-crushing plant in the industrial zone of the port of Bordeaux.  The facility, which is due to begin operating in early 2007, will be managed by the dedicated company Societe Aquitaine de Transformation (SAT). It will employ a dozen people directly and several dozens indirectly.
