"We have lived these last three years with more dynamism than the previous ones. My grandson and I built a factory that will produce 2,500,000 tones of cement per year. We invested 250 million dollars in this project. Alejandro Bengolea (Vice President of Loma Negra): We decided to build this factory in the year 1997. From 1997 until now, the investment projects and the plant cost nearly 450 million dollars. This will be the most modern plant of the entire Southern Cone. A.L. de F: On the other hand, this project includes a factory that we built in Ramallo in association with the Techint Group. This is a milling plant and its dimensions are smaller. It also has an information center for the constructors. We have clients of all sizes and also particular people that want to build their houses. This is also an experimentation center with trucks that go trough the entire country. We have some factories in Catamarca, two in Olavarría, and five in Barker. The company has also other ones in Zapala, San Juan and Paraná."
