Background

The SsangYong C&E Yeongwol Cement Plant commenced operations in 1964. The plant operates three kilns.

The Yeongwol Plant is renowned for producing a diverse range of cements, including various special cements. Notably, it was the first in South Korea to produce Type 4 Low Heat Cement, which offers excellent long-term strength, making it ideal for mass concrete structures such as LNG storage bases, dams, and bridges.

SsangYong C&E has collaborated with industry partners to enhance alternative fuel utilization at the Yeongwol Plant. For instance, the company supported the development of a redesigned HOTDISC® reactor to increase the use of alternative fuels, thereby reducing reliance on traditional fossil fuels.
