The Port of Brownsville proudly named Texan Cement as the recipient of the prestigious 2024 Chairman’s Award.
The accolade recognizes exceptional companies that exemplify the Port of Brownsville’s core values of good corporate citizenship, economic development, safety, and job creation.
“Texan Cement has demonstrated remarkable leadership in the construction and infrastructure sectors while significantly contributing to the growth and prosperity of the Rio Grande Valley,” said Brownsville Navigation District Chairman Esteban Guerra. “Their investments and commitment to sustainability are paving the way for a brighter future for our community.”
Texan Cement began dry bulk handling operations at the port in 2017 but is in the process of shifting its operation from a regional distribution center to a production facility capable of making 400,000 tons annually of portland cement at the port.
The $42 million investment, which includes cutting-edge bulk handling equipment and increasing storage capacity from 14,000 to 40,000 tons, is in addition to an initial $10 million commitment. The company’s focus on sustainability includes integrating green technologies, reducing transportation emissions, and advancing low-carbon solutions.
