Spain: Tudela Veguín has shut the kiln down for 10 days at its La Robla integrated cement plant in Castile and León. It has blamed the high price of electricity for the stoppage, according to the Diaro de León newspaper. The company says it has sufficient stocks of cement to continue to supply customers during the shutdown. The plant has a production capacity of 1.2Mt/yr but it produces 0.3Mt/yr at present.

Spain: Tudela Veguín says that an upgrade to a conveyor belt connecting its Aboño cement plant in Asturias to a terminal at the Port of El Musel will allow it to dispatch 5% more cement. The increase represents more than 100,000t/yr-worth of additional cement shipments, according to the La Nueva España newspaper. Ship loading time has also been reduced by nearly half. The Euro532,000 conveyor was completed in 2020. The El Musel terminal has shipped cement for export to several new countries, including most recently the US.
