Silvi Cement, a division of Silvi Materials, expanded its cementitious materials distribution network, reinforcing the company’s position as one of the most reliable suppliers of high-quality construction materials in the Eastern United States.
The producer officially opened a temporary cement rail load-out facility at the Port of Morehead City (N.C.). It is constructing a new cement import terminal in Morehead City, with an expected opening date of 2027.
The new terminal will be equipped with two 100,000-ton domes for Type I/II low-alkali cement and Grade 120 slag. It will feature 24/7 truck loading capabilities, as well as direct rail loadout. This opening marks an important milestone in Silvi Materials’ ongoing investment in the Southeast market.
Additionally, Silvi is set to open a second large-scale, rail-served cement distribution facility in Central Ohio in the spring. The Ohio terminal will sell Type I/II low-alkali cement and Grade 120 slag, with round-the-clock loading capacity. Designed to handle over 250,000 tpy, the facility will play a critical role in serving the growing demand across the Midwest.
“Our geographic expansion represents the next step in Silvi Materials’ long-term growth strategy,” said Laurence J. Silvi II, co-president of Silvi Materials. “From our recent acquisition of Eagle Rock Concrete in North Carolina to the opening of these new cement terminals, every move we make is focused on one goal: providing our partners with the highest-quality materials, delivered with the reliability Silvi Materials is known for.”
Until completion of the domes at Morehead City, both terminals will be supplied directly by rail from Silvi Materials’ flagship cement terminal in Bristol, Pa. – one of the largest cement import terminals in North America, with three domes and a total capacity of 165,000 metric tons.
