EAST ALLEN TWP., Pa. – A Northampton County cement company is officially under new ownership.<\/p>\n

Titan America has completed its acquisition of Keystone Cement Holding, Inc. and Keystone Cement Company LLC.<\/p>\n

\"Keystone<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Keystone Cement Company<\/p>\n

It’s a $310 million deal that was first announced earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to welcome the more than 125 Keystone team members to the Titan America family,” said\u00a0Bill Zarkalis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Titan America, in a news release.<\/p>\n

Keystone was founded in 1926 and operates a cement plant at 6507 Nor Bath Blvd outside Bath in East Allen Township. It also has an aggregates business based at a plant at 6201 Nor Bath Blvd. and a resource recovery division in which it\u00a0recycles and processes industrial waste into fuel for its kiln.<\/p>\n

Keystone was an independent company until it became part of Giant Group Unlimited in 1984, and then, Giant Cement Holding, Inc. (GCHI) in 1994. Cementos Portland Valderrivas of\u202fMadrid, Spain\u202fpurchased GCHI and its subsidiaries in 1999. GCHI later became part of Fortaleza Materiales Group, based in Mexico.<\/p>\n

In April of 2025, Giant Cement Holding was purchased by Heidelberg Materials North America, but Keystone was not part of the transaction. Instead, Keystone said it would operate under the new parent company Keystone Cement Holding, Inc., while still remaining part of Fortaleza Materiales Group.<\/p>\n

Titan America\u2019s operations include cement plants, construction aggregates and sand mines, ready-mix concrete plants, concrete block plants, fly ash production facilities, marine import and rail terminals, and distribution hubs.<\/p>\n

The company’s\u00a0brands include Essex Cement, Roanoke Cement, Titan Florida, Titan Virginia Ready-Mix, S&W Ready-Mix, Powhatan Ready Mix, Titan Mid-Atlantic Aggregates, and Separation Technologies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Titan America is based in Norfolk, Virginia. Shares of company stock are listed on the NYSE\u00a0under the ticker symbol TTAM.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shares were hovering around $16.37 late Thursday. That gives the company a market capitalization of $3.01 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EAST ALLEN TWP., Pa. – A Northampton County cement company is officially under new ownership.
