An investment of $43 million dollars into a new production facility located in Northern France is part of a joint venture between an Irish Slag cement company 'Ecocem' and the worlds largest steel company 'ArcelorMittal.' Ecocem uses granulated blast furnace slag as one of thier replacements in low carbon cement. As the worlds largest steel company, ArcelorMittal is investing in the project for strategic purposes as the two firms compliment each other’s practices.

The production facility stands in Dunkirk, France and the investment is split 70-30% (Ecocem and ArcelorMittal respectivley). The venture is expected to increase Ecocem’s capacity from 1.4Mt of low carbon cement to around 2Mt with the majority of the material to be used in the United Kingdom. 

Speaking at the time of the UK investment, Ecocem managing director Conor O'Riain said "we've invested in state-of- the-art equipment to demonstrate to the market that we're here for the long term, and I'm delighted to say that the response from the market has been phenomenal. We've made commitments to sell more in the UK in our first year than our total domestic sales in 2016."

In addition to breaking into the UK market, the United States is also in their sights as Ecocem looks to build a $64 million dollar grinding mill near San Francisco. Currently, Ecocem is working over some planning application hurtles in order to bring these intentions to life. Ecocem’s reputation as a low-carbon slag cement producer has continued to grow as they picked up the Green Product Award 2016 in August this year for its superfine product. With the award being recognised for competitive sustainable products and services along with being recognised on an international level, its safe to stay Ecocem is going nowhere but up and forward in the Slag Industry.
