June 2, 2022,\u00a0Sydney, Australia \u2014\u00a0<\/strong>Graymont has reaffirmed its commitment to invest in a significant expansion of its Australian operations to ensure\u00a0a reliable supply of high-quality lime and limestone products to domestic customers, including asphalt producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing a meeting of the Australian Flexible Pavement Association in Australia, Graymont highlighted how incorporating hydrated lime into hot-mix asphalt has proven to significantly reduce stripping, rutting, cracking and aging \u2014 a cost-effective solution that can extend years of service life to highways or other crucial infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Referencing several major infrastructure projects currently being implemented in Australia that might benefit from lime-based solutions, including the 1,700 km Inland Rail fast freight network which will connect Melbourne and Brisbane, Graymont reaffirmed to the audience that if lime is part of the solution, the Company\u2019s objective is to be a reliable supply partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acknowledging supply chain challenges and the impact of the current inflationary environment, Graymont has reinforced its ability to tap into its international production network. The Company has also affirmed its intention to proceed with sizeable investments, in the magnitude of several hundred million Australian dollars, to expand and upgrade its quicklime, hydrated lime and limestone production capacity in Australia over the next several years. These investments will follow on the heels of the successful restart of the Company\u2019s Charbon plant in 2021, as well as significant upgrades undertaken to improve the operational performance of its plants in New South Wales \u2014 at a cost of more than AU$ 50 million \u2014 following Graymont\u2019s 2019 acquisition of Sibelco\u2019s lime and limestone assets in Australia, Malaysia and the Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur proactive approach to enhancing and expanding our Australian operations further demonstrates both our capacity and our willingness to invest in strengthening our position as a global industry leader,\u201d Graymont CEO St\u00e9phane Godin observed. \u201cWherever Graymont operates, we aim to be the preferred supplier, employer, and partner of choice \u2013 and Australia is certainly no exception in that respect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
