Buzzi Unicem has accepted Cembureau’s, the European Cement Association, and Aitec’s, the Italian Cement Association, invitation to participate in “Plant Open Week”, an event created to open cement plants to the public, to show "live" how cement is produced.
Between May 10 and 18, three of the thirteen Italian group’s plants - Robilante, Vernasca and Augusta - will be open to the public. During the visit, technical experts and engineers will be available to provide information about the production process and related issues, such as environmental safeguard, work safety and impact on local community.
"Plant Open Week represents a moment of meeting and discussion, an opportunity to improve the dialogue with the communities that have agreed to host our plants. As a company, we always strive to improve our production technology and to limit the impact that cement production has on the environment, without neglecting work safety and the quality of our products", says Michele Buzzi, Buzzi Unicem CEO, who leads the company together with his brother Pietro.
The plant visits will take place according to the following schedule:
Robilante (CN) 10/05/08 from 14:30 to 18:30
Augusta (SR) 17/05/08 from 14:30 to 18:30
Vernasca (PC) 17/05/08 from 14:30 to 18:30
