Buzzi Unicem USA purchases
cement terminal in Illinois
Buzzi Unicem USA has completed the acquisition of a
30 000-ton cement storage dome and distribution terminal from Ozinga Bros. located in Joliet, Illinois. This is the latest addition to the extensive river-based terminal network of the company. Buzzi Unicem immediately started shipping Type-I/II low-alkali cement by barge from its newly expanded plant in Selma, MO. The Joliet terminal allows the company to significantly expand distribution in Illinois. Buzzi Unicem plans to install a self-service kiosk for 24-hour, 7-day loading by early spring 2011.
