North Star Cement Limited is a privately owned Newfoundland firm
with its head office located in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. The
Company operates a cement manufacturing and distribution facility
from its headquarters at Corner Brook with other bulk cement
distribution terminals at various locations to meet the needs of
its customers. The Company has an abundant supply of suitable
raw material such as limestone, shale and gypsum in the immediate
area. Corner Brook also has a deep water port which makes it
ideal for the shipment of bulk products.
The Company has been providing cement to the construction and
building supply industry since 1952 when it opened its production
facility in Corner Brook. The Company strives to be a dynamic
participant in the construction industry by continuing to offer a
quality cement product while focusing on providing the highest
possible level of service to meet the needs of its customers.
The Company employs approximately seventy-five people in the
manufacture, and distribution of its products.
Facilities and Services: North Star Cement Limited operates a
major cement production facility which has an annual production
capacity of 160,000 tonnes. Since 1966 the plant has employed a
dry-preheater production process which has proven to be more
efficient than the previously used wet process.
In 1986 an extensive plant modernization and upgrading was
completed at the facility which resulted in increased output and
a product with more uniform chemical and physical properties.
The operation produces various forms of cement including Type 10
Normal Portland, Type 10 SF silica fume, Type 30 High Early and
Masonry cement. As well the operation is able to provide other
special cement variations to meet the specific needs of
individual customers.
The Company has its own waterfront docking and loading facility
for bulk and bagged cement in Corner Brook which serves as the
primary distribution channel for the operation's products. The
Company has two bulk cement distribution terminals, both at tide
water, located at Long Pond near St. John's serving the Avalon
Peninsula, and at Argentia which services eastern and southern
Newfoundland. The operation also operates a specialized self
unloading bulk cement barge with a capacity of 9,000 tonnes. In
addition, the operation utilizes a fleet of bulk highway tankers
to transport its product to its customers.
