US: Amrize has announced that it will upgrade its Midlothian cement plant in Texas, modernise surrounding logistics and improve operational efficiency for its customers. The project is part of US$900m of investments being made by the company during 2026.
The Midlothian expansion project, expected to be completed in 2027, will include the addition of 0.1Mt/yr through upgrades across the plant, upgrading it from 2.0Mt/yr to 2.1Mr/yr. Two new 15,000t silos will be built, taking the total number of silos to 14, and the number of truck loading lanes will increase from six to 11. Efficiency upgrades will include the implementation of self-service truck loading technology to reduce the average truck turnaround times to approximately five minutes. Amrize will also upgrade existing silos to unlock additional usable capacity.
"Texas is one of the most dynamic construction markets in America," said Patrick Cleary, Amrize’s Senior Vice President of US Cement and Supply Chain. "This investment strengthens our ability to partner with customers advancing critical infrastructure and commercial projects across the state. By expanding capacity and significantly improving efficiency, we are enhancing reliability, safety and service for the customers and communities we serve."
