Cemex to invest EUR4.85m in Gijon cement plant

Cemex plans to invest EUR4.85m (US$5.5m) in the construction of a cement plant and distribution centre in Gijón port, Spain.

The facility will include two silos with a height of 43.5m and will be located in the second section of the Ingeniero Olano wharf. Each silo will have a capacity of 6000t of cement.

Cement unloading will be carried out through a pipe at the end of the Olano wharf, which would run underground to the silos. The company plans to sell cement in bulk as well as in palletised bags and will invest in the required packing, palletising and truck loading facilities at the site.
