Akmenes Cementas has been making cement at the same site in Naujoji Akmene in Lithuania since 1952. During the Soviet era, the plant was run as a wet process facility, with up to eight kilns that supplied cement to all over the USSR. After Lithuania regained its independence in1990, the plant underwent a period of rationalisation to adjust to market demands and was progressively upgraded to modern standards. Since 2014 a new 4500t/day dry process line from Germany's KHD Humboldt Wedag has been in operation. Global Cement's Peter Edwards recently visited the plant and spoke with Production Manager Edmundas Montvila.
