Operational sites
Aliénor Ciments
Built on proprietorial land in Tonneins (Lot et Garonne) and connected to the rail network thanks to a private line, Aliénor Ciments serves the markets of the Greater Southwest with bulk and bagged cement: Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie, as well as the markets of the West and Île-de-France with bagged cement.
The site, with a production capacity of 240,000 metric tons per year, has been in activity since the second half of 2018.
To meet with the needs of diverse customers, all of the cements produced by Aliéror Ciments are approved to the French standard NF Liant Hydraulique, and this since September 2019. The site has also been certified ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 by the French AFAQ quality organisation. The cement is delivered either in bags or in loose form.
Built on a former industrial brownfield site, the facility has already created over 35 full-time direct jobs locally, along with an equal number of indirect jobs.
Rhône Ciments
Situated close to the CCI river port of Portes-lès-Valence (in the Drôme region) and linked by rail, the Rhône Ciments site, with an annual production capacity of around 240,000 metric tons, serves the markets of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, and Occitanie with bulk and bagged cement, as well as the Île-de-France region with bagged cement.
The plant started to produce and sell cement in April 2021.
All the products (in loose form or in bags) are granted with the CE marking to meet the expectations of our customers.
The site has already created over 35 full-time direct jobs locally, along with an equal number of indirect jobs.
On site, special attention has been given to the integration of the factory into the local landscape visible from the banks of the Rhône and to the preservation of the biodiversity, which is especially rich in this area. Notably, compensatory measures have been put into place in partnership with the local authorities, the Compagnie Nationale du Rhône, the specialist cabinet EGIS and the Drôme region League for the Protection of Birds (LPO) in order to preserve the natural habitat of the Large Blue butterfly, as well as other species.
Cem’In’Log, Cement Innovation Logistics, Sète
Since 2019, Cem’In’Log Sète is located on the bulk mineral terminal site of the Port of Sète. Cem’In’Log Sète receives clinker shipments at its storage hall, which has a capacity of 50,000 tonnes. The raw materials are then containerized and transported to Aliénor Ciments and Rhône Ciments by full train loads or to Rhône Ciments via river barges.
The Cem’In’Log company has resulted from partnership with the French group SOGENA, a major French actor of port services (www.sogena.com).
Projected sites
C3F, Ciments des Trois Frontières
Located on a site connected both by rail and river to the Port of Ottmarsheim (Haut-Rhin), the cement grinding facility Ciments des Trois Frontières (C3F) will principally supply customers in Switzerland, in addition to serving the markets of Alsace and Baden-Württemberg in Germany.
This site will have a capacity of approximately 350,000 tonnes per year.
In the long run, the facility will employ 32 direct full-time workers and generate an equal number of indirect jobs.
Pomorski Cement
Situated in the deep-sea Port of Gdynia, very close to the bulk supplies terminal, the Pomorski Cement project will serve the customers of the very dynamic markets of Pomerania and the rest of Northern Poland.
The obtained administrative permits allow for a production capacity of approximately 240,000 tonnes per year.
In the long run, the site will employ around 30 direct full-time workers and generate an equal number of indirect jobs.
Future developments
This modular concept is perfectly adapted to other
oligopolistic markets in both Europe and in North America.
