en.Wedoany.com Reported - Amrize has announced a $900 million investment to upgrade its Midlothian cement plant in Texas and modernize surrounding logistics to enhance operational efficiency and customer service capabilities. This investment is part of the company's overall 2026 capital investment plan.

The Midlothian expansion project is expected to be completed in 2027. Through the plant-wide upgrade, the facility's annual production capacity will increase from 2 million tons to 2.1 million tons, a net gain of 100,000 tons. Specific measures include constructing two new silos, each with a capacity of 15,000 tons, bringing the total number of silos to 14, while expanding truck loading lanes from 6 to 11. To improve efficiency, the plant will introduce automated truck loading technology, aiming to reduce average truck turnaround time to approximately 5 minutes. Additionally, Amrize will retrofit existing silos to unlock more usable capacity.

Patrick Cleary, Senior Vice President of U.S. Cement and Supply Chain at Amrize, stated that Texas is one of the most dynamic construction markets in the United States, and this investment strengthens the company's ability to partner with customers on key infrastructure and commercial projects in the state. By expanding capacity and significantly improving efficiency, the company aims to deliver greater reliability, safety, and service levels to its customers and communities.
