Lafarge and Strabag will start production at a €270 million cement plant they built in Királyegyháza (SW Hungary) at the end of June, József Kővari, the managing director of project company Nostra Cement, said at a press conference at the plant on Thursday.
The companies started building the plant in September 2007, Kővari said. The plant’s equipment will be tested in a week and test operation will start afterward, he added.
The investment – the first new cement plant to be built in Europe in 30 years – will be inaugurated on September 15.
The plant has capacity to turn out 750,000 tons of clinker a year.
