BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In June 1975, Centex Corporation acquired 363 acres of limestone-rich land near Buda (limestone is the primary raw material necessary for the manufacture of cement), where it would establish a new cement manufacturing facility. Construction of the original plant began in December 1976 and was completed in June 1978. Operation of the plant commenced at this time with an initial annual rated capacity of 550,000 tons of cement a year.

In 1983, encouraged by an eagerly expanding Texas economy, the plant was doubled in size to its current rated capacity of 1,280,000 tons of cement per year. In 1984, the plant successfully produced Class H oil well cement, making it the first flash calciner pyroprocessing facility in the United States to manufacture this product.

In 1986, a joint venture agreement went into effect between a Centex Corporation subsidiary, Texas Cement Company and Lehigh Portland Cement Company, a subsidiary of Heidelberg Cement Inc. The joint venture created the Texas-Lehigh Cement Company, as it is still known today.

Texas-Lehigh presently manufactures and markets four different types of construction cement (Type I, Type I-Low Alkali, Type I-II Low Alkali and Type III), two API Monogrammed oil well cements (Class A and Class H) and masonry cement for sale to its Texas and out-of-state customers. The company's objective to be the highest quality, low cost producer of cement products in Texas is matched by its desire to maintain a safe working environment for its employees and an operation equal to today's strict environmental rules and regulations.

In addition to the plant in Buda, Texas-Lehigh currently operated terminals in Waco, Roanoke (between Fort Worth and Denton), Houston, Orange and Corpus Christi.
