As part of its “Local to Global” transformation, Türkiye-based Çimsa has accelerated its international growth by completing a new grey cement grinding plant in the United States.
Located in Houston, the facility was established through Çimsa’s subsidiary, Cimsa Americas Cement Manufacturing and Sales Corporation, with an investment of $82 million. The plant will have an annual grey clinker grinding capacity of 600,000 tons.
“Today, we are proud to launch production at our new facility in the U.S. We have long maintained a presence in the American market through exports, but this new investment – realized through our established U.S. subsidiary – marks a true turning point for us. We are no longer just an exporter to the United States, we are now a local producer,” said Çimsa CEO Umut Zena. “This gives us logistical advantages and enables us to serve our customers much
faster and more efficiently. At the same time, with our local production capacity in the United States, we aim to increase our sales volumes and further strengthen our market position.”
Çimsa also operates a white cement grinding plant in the United States with an annual capacity of 300,000 tons. With the Houston plant addition, Çimsa now stands as a much stronger player in the U.S. market, backed by a diversified product portfolio that includes both white and grey cement.
