Buzzi Unicem USA acquires storage dome and distribution terminal
Buzzi Unicem USA has announced the acquisition of a 30 000 t cement storage dome and distribution terminal from Ozinga Bros. Inc. The latest addition to the company’s extensive river-based terminal network is located in Joliet, Illinois.

The company plans to install a self-service kiosk for 24/7 loading by early spring 2011.
The facility will be managed by Scott Richardson, an employee of Buzzi Unicem USA for 10 years.
