In Andhra Pradesh, the Vizag Cement Works has officially inaugurated its slag grinding unit at the Visakhapatnam Special Economic Zone, a major industrial centre in the state. Vizag Cement was wholly-acquired by ACC from Encore Cements & Additives in January 2010.
The acquisition had helped ACC to build its presence in Andhra Pradesh and in the coastal parts of Odisha. The plant manufactures two main products, Portland Slag Cement and Coastal+ Cement, an environmental-friendly Portland cement that is suitable to withstand the corrosive impact on concrete in coastal conditions.
