Ozinga has officially broken ground on a cutting-edge, low-carbon cement manufacturing facility in East Chicago, Indiana. Equipped with one of North America’s largest vertical roller mills, the new plant will produce one million tons of low-carbon cementitious materials annually.
Strategically located with direct access to rail, truck, and water (via the Great Lakes and the inland waterways of the U.S.), the facility will serve customers across the United States and Canada, reinforcing Ozinga’s commitment to sustainable infrastructure, supply chain resilience, and American manufacturing.
“Ozinga has always believed that true innovation isn’t just about progress, it’s about purpose,” says Marty Ozinga, CEO of Ozinga. “This facility is more than a plant. It’s a commitment to the future of American manufacturing, to sustainable building, and to strengthening American communities for generations to come.”
The East Chicago facility and its related operations are projected to create approximately 150 construction and long-term full-time jobs, fueling regional economic growth. Operations are expected to begin in 2026.
“This is the kind of investment that strengthens communities and provides real opportunity for local families,” says Anthony Copeland, Mayor of East Chicago.
