Essroc, Italcementi Group , Expansion in West Virginia

" ESSROC, the US subsidiary of the Italian Italcementi Group, is upgrading its cement plant in Martinsburg, West Virginia. The project, expected to be a total $500 million investment, is expected to be completed by early 2010. ESSROC will transfer substantial activities from its cement plant in Maryland, which is expected to remain open, to its West Virginia plant. Unlike the Maryland plant, the Martinsburg plant has new pre-heat tower technology that saves time in turning stone into cement. "
