Thomas Cement has opened a 7,000tonne capacity terminal for the import of binding material in the port of Uddevalla, north of Gothenburg, Sweden.


The terminal is strategically important for the 8166 Thomas Concrete Group’s Swedish subsidiary Thomas Betong. Last year Betong acquired four concrete plants in Sörmland province and three plants in the Gothenburg region, said Hans Karlander, chief executive of Thomas Concrete Group.

Gothenburg is the group’s headquarters. “Gothenburg is also particularly important for us because in coming years, major infrastructure projects will be conducted in the city,” he said.

The family-owned group now has three terminals in Sweden: in Landskrona, Oxelösund and Uddevalla. It recently launched its Thomas Miljöstomme product, a construction system with a 30% less CO2 footprint, according to the company.

Thomas Concrete Group produces and distributes concrete for cast in place construction. It operates in the US, Poland, Germany, Norway and Sweden and had sales of around 500 million in 2016.
