Argentina's Loma Negra has announced that it will stop clinker production at its facility in Barker, Buenos Aires. The news follows a month of negotiations with the Ministry of Labor and previously confirmed job losses.
As of Thursday, 13 June the plant will operate a single shift with 24 employees, while the procedures for a final closure will begin simultaneously. Loma Negra’s parent company, Carmargo Correa, has explained that the plant was obsolete, according to Perfil.
However, the plant will continue to operate as a grinding facility.
