Background
In 1999, the Swiss-based company Holcim acquired the Câmpulung Cement Plant. Between 2005 and 2008, Holcim Romania invested approximately EUR 120 million in modernizing the Câmpulung plant. This extensive project included the installation of a new kiln to replace three outdated ones from 1972, resulting in enhanced production efficiency and environmental performance. In 2023, the plant underwent further upgrades to its pyroprocessing and cement grinding lines. Collaborating with KHD Humboldt Wedag, the modernization introduced advanced technologies aimed at increasing clinker production capacity and improving energy efficiency.
