Buzzi Unicem has approved a capital plan to modernize and expand its cement production facility located at Maryneal, Texas. The project will reduce the plant’s environmental footprint while more than doubling capacity to serve the increasing demand for cement for the construction and oil and gas industries.
With the expansion, cement production capacity at the Maryneal plant will be increased from 600,000 tons per year to 1.2 million tons per year. Buzzi Unicem also will install state-of the-art emission control equipment that will significantly reduce the level of nitrogen oxide and allow for compliance with other stringent environmental limits.

“As an industry leader in quality and service, Buzzi Unicem is committed to sustainable, environmentally responsible manufacturing at all of its plants,” said David Nepereny, president of Buzzi Unicem USA. “The Maryneal plant expansion will result in a world-class facility that has the latest pyroprocessing, environmental, and safety equipment.”
The company currently employs approximately 100 full-time employees at the Maryneal plant, 80 percent of whom live in Nolan County, Texas. This expansion will solidify the jobs for the plant’s workforce and create more than 200 full-time construction jobs during the estimated two to three year time period to erect and commission the facility.
