Alpena, Michigan is home to the world’s largest cement plants and the longest running within the United States. Production of cement began in Alpena in 1908 and because of Alpena’s large amounts of natural limestone and access to the great lakes, which made for easy shipping; this northern town was the perfect place to set up a cement factory. Ships and trucks carry cement from Thunder Bay to be delivered throughout Michigan and the Great Lakes Regions. In 2004, the Alpena Cement plant won an award for its Overall Environmental Excellence. The award was for their innovation in creating a system using waste heat from its kilns, to produce steam which drives turbines, to produce enough electricity to power every home in Alpena. Four days of production provides three weeks of electrical power to Alpena homeowners. For over 100 years the Alpena Cement Plant has been the major supplier of the cement our nation has depended on as our roads and highways expanded.
As our roads and highways have expanded, so has the traffic.
