Start-up of new 500,000-ton slag cement
facility expected in the summer of 2024
Expands ability to satisfy demand for
cementitious materials in the growing Texas market
Eagle Materials Inc. (NYSE: EXP) announced plans today for Texas
Lehigh Cement Company, a 50/50 joint venture between Eagle and
Heidelberg Materials North America, to start-up a new slag cement
facility in Houston, Texas this summer. Construction for the new
slag cement facility is substantially complete; once finished, the
plant will have an annual manufacturing capacity of approximately
500,000 tons to supplement Texas Lehigh’s cement manufacturing
plant in Buda, Texas.
“Today’s announcement is an important step for Eagle Materials
in extending our ability to meet the demand needs of our customers
in a fast-growing market like Texas, especially as other
cementitious alternatives like fly ash diminish in availability,”
commented Michael Haack, President and CEO of Eagle Materials Inc.
“We are committed to continued progress across our environmental
stewardship initiatives, and the new Texas Lehigh Cement Company
slag facility is another exciting step towards increasing the
sustainability of our business.”
With this expansion, Texas Lehigh reiterates its commitment to
be the cementitious materials supplier of choice in the Texas
market, including the key cities of Houston and Austin, meeting the
expected increase in demand for cementitious materials more broadly
and to reduce the carbon intensity of its overall product
portfolio.
