France: Greece-based Titan has completed the acquisition of Vracs de L'Estuaire (VDE). VDE operates a 600,000t/yr grinding plant at the port of Le Havre in Normandy. Titan says that it plans to serve VDE customers with new reduced-CO2 cement products ‘based on our broad palette of cements and supplementary cementitious materials, such as slag, pozzolan from our Greek operations and fly ash reclaimed with our proprietary technology.’
Titan first entered operation in France with the launch of its Marseille cement terminal in 1994.
