Major plant modernization project successfully concluded

摘要

The Rohrdorf Cement Plant in Bavaria just celebrated the successful conclusion of a big, all-told-12-year modernization project, i.e., the completion of its last investment phase, which alone took roughly two years' time. The company invested a total of some € 150 million to ensure long-term security of producion at this regional production location. The core component of the most recently completed measures totaling some € 40 million in cost is the cement mill, which improves both the plant's productivity and its energy efficiency. Four 62-m high cement silos and a new packing hall also were installed. In addition, an internal transport concept was implemented along with noise abatement measures for reducing sound emissions.
