Cement Factory and Mine “10. kolovoz” in Croatia to Close After 112 Years

After more than a century of operations, the cement factory “10. kolovoz” in Majdan, Croatia, which opened in 1908, making it one of the oldest factories of its kind on the eastern Adriatic, is becoming history, along with the cement industry in Klis, Slobodna Dalmacija writes.

At the request of the Cemex Hrvatska company, the factory, along with its mine, will be deleted from the Spatial Plan of the Split-Dalmatia County.

The request was filed during the public discussion and has been accepted, according to the report recently published on the official website of the County.

– The cement factory “10. kolovoz” has not been producing clinker since mid-2008. The market circumstances have changed considerably in the meantime and the annual capacities of Sv. Juraj and Sv. Kajo factories fully meets the requirements of the local and the exporting market – reads the explanation of the definitive closing of the facility in Majdan from the management of Cemex Hrvatska in Kastel Sucurac.

Five employees from the factory's cold line will be moved to the other two cement factories in Kastel Sucurac and Solin.
