A STRONG BUILDING MATERIALS PARTNER IN THE REGION

ROHRDORFER CEMENT in Gmunden is the most traditional company in the Rohrdorfer Group. High-quality cements for Upper Austria have been produced in Gmunden since 1908. Thanks to an extensive modernisation programme between 2018 and 2022, ROHRDORFER CEMENT is now one of the most modern, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly cement plants in the world. Our goal is to achieve CO2-neutral cement production by 2038.
During the Long Night of Industrial Culture, you can experience the cement plant and its production facilities up close and ask our expert guides your questions.
Among other things, you can see

- The kiln plant with cooler, calciner/combustion chamber and innovative waste gas cleaning system.
- Plastic hall and pyrorotor, which are important for the use of alternative fuels.
- The heat extraction with a feed into the district heating network.
