EAGLE MATERIALS ANNOUNCES START UP OF NEW TEXAS LEHIGH
CEMENT COMPANY SLAG FACILITY IN TEXAS
Start-up of new 500,000-ton slag cement facility expected in the summer of 2024
Expands ability to satisfy demand for cementitious materials in the growing Texas market
Dallas, TX (April 9, 2024) Eagle Materials Inc. (NYSE: EXP) announced plans today for Texas Lehigh Cement Company, a 50/50 joint venture between Eagle and Heidelberg Materials North America, to start-up a new slag cement facility in Houston, Texas this summer. Construction for the new slag cement facility is substantially complete; once finished, the plant will have an annual manufacturing capacity of approximately 500,000 tons to supplement Texas Lehigh’s cement manufacturing plant in Buda, Texas.
“Today’s announcement is an important step for Eagle Materials in extending our ability to meet the demand needs of our customers in a fast-growing market like Texas, especially as other cementitious alternatives like fly ash diminish in availability,” commented Michael Haack, President and CEO of Eagle Materials Inc. “We are committed to continued progress across our environmental stewardship initiatives, and the new Texas Lehigh Cement Company slag facility is another exciting step towards increasing the sustainability of our business.”
With this expansion, Texas Lehigh reiterates its commitment to be the cementitious materials supplier of choice in the Texas market, including the key cities of Houston and Austin, meeting the expected increase in demand for cementitious materials more broadly and to reduce the carbon intensity of its overall product portfolio.
