Heidelberg Materials North America has announced that Texas Lehigh Cement Company LP, its fifty-fifty joint venture with Eagle Materials Inc., will be starting production at a new slag cement facility in Houston, Texas, this summer.
Construction of the new slag cement facility is substantially complete. The new plant is expected to have a manufacturing capacity of approximately 500 000 tpy to supplement the Texas Lehigh cement manufacturing plant in Buda, Texas.
“Heidelberg Materials North America’s investment in Texas Lehigh Cement Company’s new slag facility is aligned with our ambitious sustainability goals and our commitment to significantly reduce our own carbon footprint by 2030”, said Chris Hobby, President of Heidelberg Materials North America’s Southwest Region and Board Member for Texas Lehigh Cement Company. “The start-up of this new plant will enable the Texas Lehigh Cement Company to broaden its support for sustainable and resilient construction projects throughout the state of Texas.”
With this new facility, Texas Lehigh Cement Company strengthens its cementitious footprint in the fast-growing Texas market to better meet the increasing demand for more sustainable and resilient building materials and to meaningfully reduce the carbon intensity of its product portfolio.
