EEUU: Holcim plans to mothball NY cement plant.



Waltham-based Holcim (US) Inc. said it will mothball its cement plant in Catskill, N.Y., in June in response to continued economic challenges and market conditions, a move expected to affect about 100 hourly and salaried employees.

According to a Holcim (US) Inc. press release, mothballing includes ending production operations and securing the plant in such a way that operating permits and equipment will be preserved for possible future operations.
