Roanoke Cement Company answers demand

Titan America Announces Significant Investment in
Norfolk Import Terminal to Meet Burgeoning Demand
Norfolk, VA – Titan America announced today the construction of a new 70,000-ton dome at its
existing Roanoke Cement Company import terminal located in Chesapeake, VA. This investment will
strategically position the company to meet growing demand for its products in the Mid-Atlantic
region.
The approximately $37 million investment in its Chesapeake terminal will add to the existing 35,000
ton bulk storage at the site, expand truck and rail capabilities, and allow Titan America to continue
expanding its offerings of low carbon cements. In addition, the improved terminal will have the
capability to import and distribute raw materials such as fly ash, slag, and aggregates that are in
demand throughout the market.
This new investment in Titan’s Virginia terminal comes on the heels of a similar investment in a
70,000 ton dome currently under construction at Titan’s import terminal in Tampa, Florida.
“The major expansion and modernization of these two marine terminals is another important step
toward meeting fast-growing demand for our products and services in critical infrastructure,
commercial, and residential projects in our communities,” said Bill Zarkalis, President & CEO of Titan
America. “These projects, along with our continued investments in low-carbon cement production
capacity expansion and end-to-end digitalization of our plants, signify our commitment to meet
evolving societal and consumer expectations in a world that is shaped by the need for climatechange mitigation in a digitalized economy.”
Several regional megatrends are strengthening across Titan’s served markets in the Mid-Atlantic
region, spanning from Washington, D.C. to South Carolina. Climate change resilience, population
growth supported by new and rebuilt infrastructure, and substantial investments in defense and
digital technologies, are all positive indicators of what lies ahead. “The timing of our investments is
well-aligned to support these major economic drivers and enables us to further demonstrate our
commitment to being the preferred supplier for sustainable growth through lower carbon products
for our customers,” said Kevin Baird, President of Titan America’s Mid-Atlantic Business Unit.
Over the past 5 years, Titan America has been steadily modernizing and expanding its logistics
infrastructure, storage facilities, land terminals, and the privately owned import terminal in
Chesapeake, VA to create an unparalleled integrated logistics network – by ship, truck, and rail. In
conjunction with converting to an innovative multi-product storage and loadout facility, the
Chesapeake investment will more than triple the amount of rail running through the terminal and will
