Amrize Midlothian Cement Plant Expansion

Amrize is expanding the Midlothian cement plant that feeds much of Dallas-Fort Worth’s concrete supply. The expansion is the front piece of a $900 million North American investment the company is spreading across its 2026 operations, aimed squarely at a Texas building market that keeps outrunning local cement capacity.

Project Scope
The Midlothian work adds 100,000 tons of annual production capacity and rebuilds the plant’s logistics. Two new 15,000-ton silos bring the site to 14, and truck loading lanes grow from six to 11. Amrize says the changes lift loading capacity by 80 percent and cut truck turnaround by about five minutes, a small number that adds up fast when hundreds of mixers cycle through a plant each day. The site runs on roughly 150 staff and already ships more than two million tons a year.

Why It Matters
Cement is the quiet constraint on a hot construction market. When a metro builds faster than nearby plants can grind and ship, prices climb and schedules slip, and cement doesn’t travel far economically. Amrize is betting that Dallas-Fort Worth demand holds, and that domestic capacity beats importing tonnage into a tariff-scrambled market. Completion is expected in 2027.
