US: Heidelberg Materials has successfully converted its cement plant in Speed, Indiana, into a slag grinding facility. The facility ceased Portland cement production in 2023 following the opening of a new plant in Mitchell, Indiana, and now produces slag cement using domestically sourced slag granules. The Speed site has a grinding capacity of over 400,000t/yr and also functions as a distribution hub for the Mitchell plant's cement and other products.
