Dublin-based Ecocem has appointed Mike Donovan as technical director for its U.S. operations. He will play a pivotal role in driving the company’s business development initiatives as it brings its scalable low-carbon cement technologies to North America.
“Being a part of Ecocem’s groundbreaking entry into the North American market and shaping the global future of low-carbon cement is a true honor,” said Donovan. “I’m committed to building on Ecocem’s proven track record and leadership in Europe to bring scalable low-carbon cement solutions to North America. These are solutions that are available today and can cost-effectively scale to meet the demands of the industry here.”
Donovan brings a unique perspective and intimate knowledge of the cement industry. Most recently, he successfully developed and brought a new natural pozzolan to market with Geofortis, which was recently acquired by Ash Grove Cement.
Ecocem’s North American expansion is rooted in one of its most significant projects to date, the construction of its terminal and milling operations at the Port of Los Angeles. The facility will import raw materials by ship and process them to manufacture low-carbon materials.
