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.
