Cement plants in Russia in the majority are based in the early years of the twentieth century. They were built quickly and were equipped with advanced for that time equipment.

On the question of how to create a mortar, which when saturated with water formed would quickly hardened stone-like substance, scientists and chemists struggled for a long time. This material had to have a certain strength, fast harden, and its price could be high.

After the invention of Portland cement by Joseph Aspdin in 1824, it took more than a quarter century in order to appreciate this material. The technology was the process of grinding limestone in combination with heat treatment.

Map of cement plants in Russia in the early XX century and today reflects the geological data about the presence of Cretaceous deposits (the so-called Apoc). The logical consequence of this, and it is very a good coincidence is the fact that such raw material is most often obtained from rivers and seas. Therefore, in most cases, transportation of finished products by water transport is not a problem.

Example of how to develop cement plants in Russia, can serve businesses in the town of Volsk, Saratov province. In 1897 the merchant Glukhov opened the production of building materials under the brand name "Partnership for the production of Portland cement Glukhoozerskoe", first applying such state of the art technology, as roasting in a rotating drum furnaces. In the years of Soviet power, the enterprise was named "Bolshevik". 1912 marked the emergence of another player in the market of building materials of the Russian Empire, Saratov joint-stock company.

The Russian-Swiss production Pligin Seifert and opened in 1903. Soon a Swiss joint-stock company "Asserin" launched another cement plant. Photos stored in the Museum of the city of Volsk, recorded for the history of the laying of production plants.

So, in less than a decade and a half a small provincial town turned into an advanced industrial centre with four factories, loaded with orders for one hundred percent, and sometimes more. In the spring and summer brought seasonal workers, for whom was built the so-called barracks.

The Quality of Volsk cement has always been the highest. It was used in the construction of fortifications, and then in the construction of the Ostankino TV tower.

What is the secret of such intense interest to the cement business representatives? First, the availability of high-quality raw materials, to carry which from a distance would be expensive. Second, the favorable investment climate. To do business in our country up to 1917 was as easy as in Europe or North American States, therefore, cement plants in Russia so rapidly developed.

What has changed since then? Unfortunately, a lot of things. Out of four plants only one left, all the same Glukhoozersky "Bolshevik". Of course, sources of raw materials partially developed, but it will suffice for hundreds of years. Volga on the spot. To assert that the sale of such an important building material has declined, not. With the staff, including the highest caliber, yet there is no problem. So what need to revive the best cement plants in Russia?
