Lafarge Poland's Malogoszcz plant modernisation set to begin

The foundation stone for Lafarge Poland's Małogoszcz plant modernisation has been ceremonially laid, which signals the beginning of construction of a new rotary kiln.

Małogoszcz is expected to produce one of the most environmentally friendly cements on the Polish and European markets, according to a press release. 

The investment in the project, supported by Krakow Technology Park, is worth over EUR100m. It is expected to result in approximately 20 per cent less CO₂ emissions as the new line replaces the three existing lines. A new alternative fuel installation will also be built at the site.
