Leamington Plant
Not far from the arid plains of the West lies the Leamington Plant in Utah. Located within the Central Utah Agri-Park Inland Port Project Area, Leamington is a quiet farming community. The plant provides vital material for construction and infrastructure, especially in the Salt Lake City area, and also ships to Nevada and New Mexico.
Leamington first opened in 1980 and became part of Ash Grove in 1989. Over the years, the plant has evolved to meet regional demand, including the installation of a new finished mill in 2001 and an automated cement loading system that improved operational efficiency.
With the capacity to produce almost 1 million tons yearly, a talented team of over 100 people – among them geologists; mining and mechanical engineers; quality control and laboratory technicians and chemical engineers; drill, plant and mill operators; and occupational health, safety and environmental specialists – run the processes, maintain equipment and control production, while the logistics and the sales and marketing teams work together supporting customers.
The plant manufactures a wide range of products, including traditional and advanced/blended cements engineered for evolving standards and project needs, that customers can trust for their most demanding construction requirements. Ash Grove’s technical service team works directly with customers in the field, helping solve real-world construction challenges and supporting sustainability goals across applications.
We continue to invest in the future of the Leamington facility. A new finish mill is scheduled to be commissioned in Q3 2026, which will increase cement production capacity and further strengthen the plant’s ability to support customers across the region. This project is a key part of the company’s long-term strategy to meet growing demand while reducing our environmental footprint.
The Leamington plant is also home to a Sapphire Americas facility, supporting alternative fuel solutions that help reduce waste and improve efficiency in cement manufacturing.
