Heidelberg Materials North America announced that Texas Lehigh Cement Company LP, a fifty-fifty joint venture between Heidelberg Materials North America and Eagle Materials Inc., will begin production this summer at a new slag cement facility in Houston, Texas.
Construction of the new slag cement facility is substantially complete. The new plant is expected to have an annual manufacturing capacity of approximately 500,000 tons 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.”
