INNOVATION & SUSTAINABILITY
Amrize is shaping the future of North American construction
As the partner of choice for professional builders, we deliver advanced, high-performance building solutions across every U.S. state and Canadian province.
Driven by innovation, smart investment, and cutting-edge technology, the Amrize Ravena plant is designed to meet our customers’ most ambitious projects with stronger, faster, and more durable solutions – all while enhancing our operations and efficiency.
In September 2017, the plant completed a three-year, multimillion-dollar modernization project that replaced an outdated wet kiln line with a highly advanced dry kiln process. This upgrade allowed the plant to operate well below state and federal emissions limits bringing significant improvements to air quality within the local community.
The facility also employs state-of-the-art air pollution control systems, advanced monitoring technology, and best-in-class production practices that set a new standard for operational excellence.
With products that deliver in strength, quality, performance, durability and speed, Amrize is North America’s largest cement manufacturer and a leader in next-generation building materials. Among these is Amrize’s OneCem Limestone Cement, made with quality limestone and engineered with precision to reduce clinker content while maintaining the highest level of performance.
By optimizing production through innovative formulation, OneCem enables up to 15 percent reduction in CO2 emissions – offering builders a solution that is both innovative and responsible.
In 2022, the Amrize Ravena plant participated in a New York State advisory panel to help establish forward-looking guidelines around the use of low-embodied concrete made with Amrize’s Type IL cement to reduce CO2 emissions by incorporating up to 15 percent limestone in its mix. Today, we remain steadfast in our advocacy to enable the use of innovative building materials and in working with New York State, we’re advancing the future production of Type IL cement at Amrize Ravena.
As the only operating cement plant in New York, Ravena is uniquely located along the Hudson River, giving the plant an unmatched distribution network advantage. Amrize Ravena ships 80 percent of its products by water, reducing truck and rail emissions that would otherwise be required to bring building materials to projects underway across the state and beyond.
