Background

The Paderborn cement plant first began production in 1926. Eventually incorporated into international cement giant Heidelberg Materials, in recent years the plant produced exclusively Ternocem, the company's low-emissions cement made with alternative materials and lower kiln temperatures. Plant capacity was reportedly under half a million tonnes per year.

In March 2026, the company announced that the Paderborn cement plant would be retired.
