Furno Materials, a leader in sustainable and modular cement production, today announced a major strategic agreement with Maschmeyer Concrete Company of Florida, a premier ready-mix provider, to explore the deployment of a new, local cement supply chain in Florida. This pioneering collaboration aims to transform Maschmeyer’s waste concrete into domestically produced, high-performance cement, fundamentally changing how cement is sourced and manufactured in the U.S.

Furno Materials, a leader in sustainable cement production, has reached a significant milestone announcing its cement has achieved ASTM C150 certification, the benchmark for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). Furno’s cement was found to perform at strengths 2x industry ASTM standard. This breakthrough combines the strength and reliability of traditional OPC with superior sustainability, positioning Furno as a transformative player in the cement industry.

Furno Materials is proud to announce that it has been selected to receive a $20 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC). Furno’s first of a kind modular cement plant was selected along with twelve other projects across America to strengthen domestic supply chains, eliminate harmful emissions, and return jobs to communities impacted by local coal plant closures. Located in Chicago, Illinois, Project OZ will showcase a new model for low carbon cement production, powered by Furno’s breakthrough technology and supported by Ozinga, one of the largest independent concrete producers in the United States. Project OZ represents a major step toward onshoring cement production back to the U.S. and transforming the cement industry with a new model for decarbonized, modular cement production.
