Ash Grove Cement Company announced Alan C Finch as the new plant manager of its Chanute works in Kansas, USA, effective immediately.

“We are pleased that Alan will assume the leadership role of our Chanute plant. This plant opened in 1908 and is the longest running plant in our fleet of eight plants in the United States,” said Mike Hrizuk, senior vice president of manufacturing. “We are eager to introduce Alan to the employees and community.”

Finch has a 17-year career in the cement industry and comes to Chanute from Ash Grove’s Durkee, Ore., plant where he has been production manager for the past nine years and where he previously held the production superintendent position for three years.
