Senior Product Specialist, Plant Utilities for Pyro & Grinding 

Build a better world 

Urbanization and continuous global economic growth create a steady need for homes, office buildings, roads and ports. This is driving the demand for cement despite its energy intensive process that accounts for 7% of global CO2 emissions. For more than 140 years, we have been pioneering solutions for the Cement industry by providing it with technologies, products and services that save energy, reduce emissions and maximize productivity. When we look at the world, we don’t see it as it is, we see it as it could be. We bring efficient production to our clients and decarbonization to the entire industry. This is why our Cement strategy is called GREEN26.
