A miniature Statue of Liberty
Since the beginning of May, a miniature replica of the Statue of Liberty has been camped out in front of the main building of Volyn Cement at Zdolbuniv in Ukraine. Two meters tall, the statue was named Liberty Enlightening the World (Liberty inspires the world). It represents the stability of the company and the reliability of its products, and has been a symbol of pride for the employees who pass it every day. In fact, Dyckerhoff was awarded the contract to supply 8,000 barrels of high quality cement for the foundations of the Statue of Liberty, the pouring of which commenced in 1884. This order was the first time that the company exported its products to the new market overseas.
