BOARD OF DIRECTORS
ALAMO CEMENT COMPANY

Alamo Cement Co. was formed January 19, 1880, as Alamo Portland
and Roman Cement Co. The first portland cement plant west of the
Mississippi River and the second in the United States, the plant
was located at what is now Brackenridge Park. The original kiln
produced about 10 barrels (less than two short tons) of cement per
day.
In 1908, Alamo Cement Co. changed its name to San Antonio Portland
Cement Co. The company operated a new plant near Alamo Heights in
north San Antonio until 1986. In July 1979, Presa Ltd. of Italy
and Vigier Cement Ltd. of Switzerland purchased San Antonio Portland
Cement Co. The name was changed back to Alamo Cement Co., the original
name adopted almost 100 years before.
In 1981, Alamo completed construction of its current modern clinker
facility in northeast Bexar County, known as the 1604 Plant. The
cement was grounded at the Alamo Heights plant until the summer
of 1986, when the new finishing plant was completed at the 1604
Plant site. In 1999, Alamo Cement Co. became a wholly owned subsidiary
of Unicem SpA. Alamo has become vertically integrated into the ready-mix
concrete and concrete products businesses through its associated
company, Alamo Concrete Products.
