Tottenville Cement Industries
TOTTENVILLE CEMENT INDUSTRIES The Board of Directors of Tottenville Cement Industries has approved a plan to improve operations and significantly lower production costs at its Portland plant. During the 1970’s, Tottenville Cement Industries was concerned with increasing sales to foreign markets. ... The purpose of the plan is to change the plant’s domestic source of raw materials to an offshore limestone deposit which is less costly to process into finished cement. ... During this period, customer service and cement shipments will be provided from existing inventories and purchased material. ... However, the high moisture content of limestone from the present quarry and related handling difficulties cause Tottenville to consider alternate sources of limestone and modification of the plant to process drier raw material.
