Welcome!
Concrete is the second most used product in the world next to water. In addition to its use in the development of the roads we travel to visit family, go to work and enjoy Michigan’s natural treasures, our cement is the basic material in housing, schools, and our hospitals.
With more than 110-years in Alpena, I am extremely proud of our long legacy of commitment to our community. We take our responsibility to be good members of our community very seriously. Alpena is home to our plant, and more importantly, home for more than 200 men and women and their families who live and work at the Lafarge Alpena site.
Without you, it wouldn't be possible for Lafarge Alpena to continuously make an impact on Michigan and our surrounding Great Lakes. We are committed to preserving our great state for future generations to come.
Best regards,
Jeff Scott, Plant Manager

Like you, we believe in protecting all of the beauty Michigan has to offer, and our aim is to ensure generations to come are able to enjoy all this great state has to offer. Our company has made a global commitment to lowering our carbon footprint. To do so, we are working to transform our networks to use renewable energy and/or alternative sources of fuels. By transitioning to more alternative and EPA-approved fuel sources, we can and will protect the beauty of Michigan’s natural resources for future generations.

SUSTAINABILITY
Cement manufacturing is energy intensive, requiring kiln temperatures of up to 3,000°F. To achieve this, LafargeHolcim uses traditional and alternative energy sources to produce cement. Traditionally, operations have been fueled by coal, petroleum coke and natural gas. Today, Lafarge plants across the country also use alternative fuels such as used auto tires and recycled materials like paper and cardboard from local industries to reduce the impact of our emissions. The benefits of using these alternative fuels are vast. Alternative fuels can be completely destroyed without leaving any leftover residue, while reducing emissions from CO2, sulfur and nitrogen.
