ABOUT McINNIS CEMENT

McInnis Cement is currently building a cement plant representing one of the largest industrial project currently in construction in the Eastern part of North America.  The plant will have an initial production capacity of 2.2 million metric tons of cement per year.  It is located in the Port-Daniel–Gascons city in the Gaspesie region.  The site was chosen because of the quality of its limestone deposit and the presence of a deep water maritime terminal. Thanks to its state-of-the-art technology, the Port-Daniel–Gascons cement plant will meet the most stringent environmental standards and will therefore have one of the lowest environmental footprint of the cement industry. Project updates are available on www.mcinniscement.com and on Twitter @Ciment_McInnis.
