Roanoke Cement earns industry’s first ISO 50001

Roanoke Cement Co and its parent company, Titan America, announced this week that it has obtained ISO 50001 certification for its Troutville plant in Virginia – the first cement plant in the country.

ISO 50001, sponsored by the US Department of Energy, is an energy management system standard that is established as a voluntary programme of best practices in continuous energy improvement.

"ISO 50001 is a signature achievement for a manufacturing plant," says Brian Allder, Roanoke’s plant manager. "RCC's energy management system owes its long-term success to the continued commitment of our leadership -- who embraced it from the get-go -- empowering energy management at every level."
