Holnam Incorporated (SWX: CHF) (Dundee, Mi.) announced the recent start-up of their new $200 million 1.9 million ton per year cement plant in Florence, Colo. The plant is currently offline while repairs are being made to structural problems that occurred after start-up and is expected to be back to full operational status in November.
