Heidelberg Materials Opens Cement Plant in Mitchell
Texas-based Heidelberg Materials North America celebrated the opening of a more than $600 million cement plant Tuesday in Mitchell, which will serve as a Midwest powerhouse dealing with the shortage head-on. It will produce 2.4 million tons of cement annually, tripling its previous output and making it the second largest facility in North America.
Dozens of community leaders, Heidelberg customers and politicians watched executives cut the ribbon on the new facility as it hummed behind them. Indiana officials including Gov. Eric Holcomb; Sen. Mike Braun, R-IN; Sen. Todd Young, R-IN; and Congresswoman Erin Houchin, R-9, sent video messages congratulating and thanking the industry leader for investing in the state.
