LafargeHolcim Cizkovice: A long history of production for a new group

摘要

The LafargeHolcim Cizkovice cement plant is located near a village of the same name in the north west of the Czech Republic. Over nearly 120 years of production, the plant, like many, has undergone major changes to fit the shifting requirements of the local market and to increase production efficiency. This included a very early switch, in 1910, to dry process production and more recently included the introduction of alternative fuels in 1997. Today the plant boasts one of the highest alternative fuel substitution rates in the world. Global Cement was recently able to visit the plant ahead of the field trip taken by delegates of the 10th Global CemFuels Conference & Exhibition in Prague, Czech Republic.
