Keystone Cement's Independent Operations Launch
Keystone Cement Company is excited to share news of its transition to independent operations. This strategic move follows the sale of Giant Cement Holding, Inc. (GCHI) to Heidelberg Materials, but it's essential to note that Keystone Cement is not included in this transaction and will continue to function as a standalone entity.
Focus on Quality and Service
As part of the transition to Keystone Cement Holding, Inc., the company will maintain its commitment to delivering high-quality cement products and excellent customer service. Keystone operates under the support of the Fortaleza Materiales Group, which is recognized as a leading international resource in the building materials sector. This partnership ensures that Keystone has access to further corporate backing and investment to enhance its operational capabilities.
Keystone Cement's Product Divisions
The company is structured into three main divisions that will continue to serve its markets:
Keystone Cement Division
This division remains a reputable provider of cement throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, establishing itself as a cornerstone in construction projects.
Keystone Aggregates Division
Formerly known as Kapco, this division supplies aggregates critical for various construction and infrastructure endeavors, offering reliable materials that support regional development.
Keystone Resource Recovery Division
Dedicated to sustainability, this division focuses on recycling and processing industrial waste, converting it into fuel for the kiln, thus pursuing a zero-landfill strategy.
Leadership and Commitment to Community
In this new chapter, Mr. Yonn Barrick has been appointed as Vice President and General Manager of Keystone Cement Company. He brings more than 25 years of industry experience, including senior leadership roles that have prepared him to guide the company through this transition effectively. Previously, he was Vice President of Sales and has been a vital member of the executive team.
Mr. Barrick expressed enthusiasm about the future, stating, "Our commitment to the community and support for regional businesses will remain steadfast. As we operate under Fortaleza Materiales, we can hone our focus on our strengths and solidify our position as a leading cement solutions provider in the market." This reflects Keystone's intent to stay true to its roots while looking forward to growth.
