France: Cem’In’Eu has announced plans to establish a Euro23.0m grinding plant at Portes-lès-Valence in Drôme department. The La Tribune newspaper has reported that the plant will receive imported clinker produced at Adana Çimento’s 5.2Mt/yr integrated Adana plant in Turkey by river and rail from the port of Sète. Cem’In’Eu president and Vincent Lefebvre said that the location “allows us to be in the middle of a Lyon-Marseille-Montpellier triangle but also to be connected to the Alpine valleys.”

The grinding plant is due for commissioning in mid-July 2021, however the coronavirus has delayed the start of construction.

France: Cem’In’Eu has obtained NF hydraulic binders certification for its Aliénor plant in Tonneins from the Technical Association of Hydraulic Binders. It covers CEM I 52.5 R cement. The cement producer is currently seeking NF certification for other types of cement in its product range. The latest certification follows ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 accreditation at the cement grinding plant.
