The operation is expected to produce close to 600,000 tonnes of asphalt stone, concrete stone and base annually.
The investment ends Cemex's more than 10-year hiatus on aggregates production in the state, providing a local resource for customers and Cemex's Ready Mix USA concrete operations in Tuscaloosa, Vance and Alabaster.
Marc Tyson, Cemex USA regional president—MidSouth Region, says: “The Brierfield Plant gives us a new opportunity to support our existing customers and earn the business of new ones by leveraging the wealth of experience of our team and providing them materials sourced from all parts of Cemex’s supply chain.”
The Brierfield Plant began operations in June, processing aggregates under the name RM USA Aggregates.
