en.Wedoany.com Reported - Amrize has announced a modernization of its cement plant in Saint-Constant, Quebec, Canada, to improve efficiency and strengthen its supply capabilities across the country.
The North American producer stated that the latest investment will enhance plant efficiency through the introduction of modern equipment, improve the net carbon footprint, and bolster local manufacturing strength by adding 300,000 tons of capacity. The upgrade will bring the plant's annual capacity to 1.2 million tons. According to Amrize, upon completion of the project, the facility will become one of the production sites with the "lowest carbon emissions per ton of cement in Eastern Canada."
Jaime Hill, President of Amrize Building Materials, said the investment in Quebec will transform the cement plant into the most advanced and sustainable facility in Eastern Canada. He noted that as the Canadian and Quebec governments invest in shaping the province's future, this modernization will ensure construction is carried out with reliable, local, and efficient cement. He added that Amrize is proud to support Quebec's jobs, economy, communities, and infrastructure for decades to come.
For decades, Amrize has supported key projects in Quebec, including the Robert-Bourassa Generating Station, the Montreal Metro Blue Line, the Samuel Champlain Bridge, the Île-aux-Tourtes Bridge, Montreal-Trudeau International Airport, and Place des Montréalaises. Amrize plans to supply "Made in Quebec" cement from the Saint-Constant plant, with all production stages from raw material processing to final manufacturing completed within Quebec.
The project has received support from the Canadian government's Low-Carbon Economy Fund, as well as Quebec's ÉcoPerformance program and the MADI initiative, all part of the 2030 Green Economy Plan and funded by the Quebec Carbon Market. Nathalie Provost, Secretary of State for Nature, stated that by helping Canadian cement companies adopt cleaner technologies, emissions can be reduced and energy efficiency improved while strengthening the low-carbon economy.
