Cement Network Report: The Expansion Project of the 600,000-Ton Cement Plant of Amrize Company in the United States Was Officially Put into Production

Amrize's cement plant expansion in Ste. Genevieve, Mo., is officially on stream, further strengthening its market position as the largest cement production facility in North America. The new capacity of the expansion is about 600000 tons per year, bringing the total annual capacity of the plant to about 5 million tons, which is significantly higher than previous scale. The project was officially announced on December 16, marking a key step in Amrize's ability to manufacture in the United States.

This expansion is a core component of Amrize's U.S. business investment plan for 2025. According to the plan, the group will invest $700 million in operational upgrades across the United States this year, and the renovation of the Ste. Genevieve plant is the top priority of this ambitious investment strategy. By substantially increasing production capacity, Amrize not only optimizes operational efficiency, but also effectively enhances supply reliability, providing a more stable guarantee for customers across the country.

"Made in America" is the core concept of the expansion. The new capacity will ensure that builders can obtain sufficient domestic cement products, avoid dependence on imported materials, and directly increase local employment. Under the background of continuous fluctuation of global supply chain, strengthening local manufacturing capacity is regarded as an important measure to ensure national infrastructure construction and maintain industrial security. Jaime Hill, president

of Amrize Building Materials, stressed in the statement that the Ste. Genevieve flagship plant is not only leading in scale, but also plays a key role in shaping the modernization process of the United States. From infrastructure and data centers to advanced manufacturing and high-rise buildings, the factory's products support many key areas of national economic development. This expansion further strengthens its market leadership and enables the company to continue to serve customers with high quality and reliability, while creating more jobs for the local community. The

expanded Ste. Genevieve plant relies on an efficient logistics distribution network to rapidly cover the U.S. market with cement products. According to Platts, a division of S & P Global Energy, Houston cement CIF was quoted at $86/t on December 11. Stable market prices provide a favorable environment for Amrize's expansion. With this capacity upgrade, Amrize has further consolidated its position as a leading cement producer in the United States, laying a solid foundation for future growth in infrastructure demand.
