Cement

Eagle Materials' cement manufacturing facilities are located in Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas* and Wyoming.

During fiscal 2007, Eagle expanded and modernized the Illinois Cement plant. The project expanded the plant's annual cement manufacturing capacity by 70 percent to 1.1 million tons, and lowered the plant's cost structure by 20 percent. All of the company's cement facility upgrades share common goals: to provide additional capacity to satisfy future demand growth, to facilitate substantial improvement in per unit production costs, and to advance our sustainability objectives of using less resources than others to produce the same products.

In November 2012, Eagle acquired two cement plants, one near Kansas City, Missouri and one in Tulsa, Oklahoma. These acquisitions increased company's cement capacity by roughly 60 percent. These represent key strategic moves for the company: the new plants are highly complementary geographically with Eagle's other assets, and together create a low-cost system for serving target heartland markets.

Early 2020, in a strategic move to expand its reach in the US-heartland, Eagle acquired Kosmos' Louisville, Kentucky cement plant, as well as related assets including seven distribution terminals and substantal raw material reserves. The plant has capacity to produce nearly 1.7 million tons of cement annually, increasing Eagle's cement capacity by approximately 25%.

Eagle has an outstanding portfolio of cement assets with over eight million tons of annual cement production capacity. Each of the cement plants are highly efficient and appropriately sized for the markets in which each plant competes.

*Eagle Materials Inc.'s cement plant in Texas is operated through a 50/50 joint venture.
