Castle Cement

Castle Cement is a cement production company located in the United Kingdom. The company is now owned by HeidelbergCement. The company meets 25% of the demand for cement in the UK and employs 1,200 people.

The head office is based in Birmingham and the works are located in Ketton in Rutland, Padeswood in Wales, Ribblesdale near Clitheroe and Avonmouth near Bristol. A depot that was located in Birmingham however was dismantled in 2005 after being bought by a developer who is constructing a mixed-use complex named Curzon Gate.

At Avonmouth the company has a marine terminal, that is used as a site for the importation of cement in bulk, with samples from there tested at the Ketton site's laboratory each week to ensure they meet British Standards.

Cement is also imported through the Humber ports.

Castle Cement holds an open day at the Ketton production facility each year in July. [Classic plant and machinery magazine, 6-12, August 2008]
