Scottish cement
It was in March 1962 that work first began on the modern works at Oxwellmains, near Dunbar, and on April 1st 1963 the first kiln was lit. Associated Portland Cement Manufacturers Limited (later Blue Circle Industries PLC) selected Dunbar because it had the ideal proportions of raw material (shale and limestone) for the production of cement; for much of the works’ existence it has been the only cement producer in Scotland. The plant was modernised in the 1980s. The current kiln has an output of around 867 tonnes of cement clinker per day. Ownership passed to Lafarge in 2001 and from Lafarge Tarmac to CRH in July 2015.
