Background

The Górażdże cement plant commenced operations in the late 1970s, with technology sourced from Western Europe to ensure efficient operations, a pioneering move in the Eastern bloc. In the mid-1990s, the Górażdże cement plant became part of international cement giant Heidelberg Materials.

In late 2021, the plant initiated an on-site heat treatment project for its rotary kiln components. This project involved the mobilization of a specialized team to perform continuous preheating, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of the kiln. To improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), the plant implemented COPA-DATA's zenon software in its packaging area. This initiative led to a 20% reduction in costs and optimized the palletizing and stretch hood processes.

The plant has a production capacity of 4 million tonnes of cement annually, making it the largest cement plant in Poland.
