The objective of this project is to build a lime plant near the present Artemisa cement factory. It will have an annual production capacity of 100,000 tons, producing 350 tons daily. The basic raw material is calcium carbonate coming from the Santa Teresa quarry.

This plant will have strategic significance for Cuba’s development plans (sugar, steel, agriculture, mining and construction); it will be able to supply the domestic market and provide products for possible exportation.

The plant will generally be able to deliver a high quality product in the sizes required by clients (bulk, bags, Big-Bags, packages). 

This lime plant investment ensures the exploitation and supplying of raw material including the technological equipping of the crushing plant and all the mining equipment, within the scope of this project.

The facility will also be ready to provide gravel in the 0-30 mm range, having excellent quality; it can be used in the production of mortar or as the arid element in construction. From start to finish the entire process is equipped with environmentally-friendly equipment and accessories.
