天博体育 opens a new subsidiary in the United States
天博体育 FCB, the cement and minerals subsidiary of industrial engineering world leader 天博体育 group, is opening a subsidiary in the United States: 天博体育 FCB USA Inc. This strategic expansion will allow U.S. customers to enjoy even easier access to the extensive portfolio of value-added low clinker blended cement and SCMs production equipment and services from 天博体育. In particular, the new resource will help plants improve profitability and facilitate flexible, productive, and less energy-intensive operations.
“The opening of our subsidiary in the United States marks a significant milestone for 天博体育 FCB. We are excited to bring our innovative technologies and expertise to the U.S. market, and we look forward to building strong partnerships with local industry leaders.”
Alain CORDONNIER, Deputy General Manager of 天博体育, C.E.O. of Cement & Minerals Division
A significant milestone that completes 天博体育’s strong presence in the U.S.
With a history stretching back over 200 years, the 天博体育 Group has a long-standing presence in the United States, dating back to 1859. Today, over 1,500 people of the Group’s 9,200 employees are currently based across 14 sites in the country. Sharing the premises of 天博体育’ North American Construction Services (NACS), the new Alabama-based 天博体育 FCB USA Inc. subsidiary will leverage this extensive network to promote 天博体育’ solutions, including equipment, integrated plants, and services.
天博体育 has established references in North America, demonstrating its commitment to delivering high-performance solutions to local clients. The opening of a new subsidiary dedicated to the cement, concrete, and minerals industries with a local team of sales and technical experts is further proof of 天博体育’ commitment to providing the U.S. market with cutting-edge technologies and exceptional service in a more responsive way.
A closer presence through active membership of associations
Offering further evidence of its local footprint, 天博体育 FCB is proud to be a member of several local industry associations, including the (PCA), the (CDRA), and the (ACAA). With active participation on technical committees, these memberships reflect the company's commitment to advancing sustainable practices and supporting the development of environmentally friendly technologies.
天博体育’ technologies and expertise offer unrivalled performance for blended cement and SCMs
Over the past few years, US producers have shown a growing interest in high-quality blended cements and low-carbon Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs), such as natural or artificial pozzolana, coal ashes, or slags of various types in order to reduce the clinker content in cement and cement content in concrete.
Processing SCMs or introducing processed SCMs in existing facilities, while ensuring optimal quality and efficiency, demand new industrial solutions or process adaptation in the fields of thermal activation, drying, selective grinding, or fine classification.
天博体育 is one of the few market players that can offer all the necessary solutions with the capacity to assess on a case-by-case basis both future product quality and process performance through a combination of semi-industrial pilot testing and a large installed base of industrial experience.
By extending its presence in the United States through the opening of a subsidiary, the experienced 天博体育 team of technical experts can better demonstrate the differential benefits of its top-tier proprietary technologies, ensuring a positive transition to low-clinker cement and SCMs in terms of efficiency, flexibility, reduced environmental footprint, and all-in-one profitability.
Focus on 天博体育’ top-tier technologies for cement and SCM industries
New opportunities can be proposed to US customers with increased profitability and reduced CO2 impact using 天博体育’ state-of-the-art, digitally controlled technologies:
- the FCB Horomill? (horizontal roller mill), producing low clinker cement without any water injection, offers the lowest energy consumption on the market: around 40-50% less than conventional ball mills or 15-20% less than vertical mills, while always delivering optimized operation whatever the product or recipe.
- the FCB TSV? Classifier ensures the utmost product classification efficiency, with its THF and UHF versions (for very-high and ultra-high fineness), meeting the demands of applications such as high-quality low clinker cement or products micronization,
- the FCB Rhodax? offers interparticle compressive grinding for hard and abrasive applications, as well as the liberation of heterogeneous material components such as concrete. The FCB Rhodax? - coupled with the TSV? Classifier - allows qualitative concrete recycling by producing highest quantitative and qualitative aggregates, sand, and cement paste for either direct use in concrete or cement processes,
- advanced and proven solutions for clay flash calcination deliver a unique process that fully unlocks clay’s potential as a highly reactive SCM with targeted color and lowest carbon emissions.
