Sitting astride the provinces of Namur and Luxemburg, the Lhoist factory, is one of the main suppliers of quicklime to the Belgian and Luxemburg steel industry. The quicklime produced by the factory is of the finest quality and the ultramodern factory plant is situated close to nearby major trunk roads and connected to the railway network. The factory produces about 500.000 tons of quicklime per year and employs roughly a 100 people. Historically, the factory’s development and exploitation are linked to the construction of the Brussels-Luxemburg railway line in 1850. Along with the railways, the Lhoist factory is an important source of employment for the Jemelle population that quadrupled in the space of 30 years. The Lhoist Corporation has sites all over the world.
The Lhoist corporation has sites all over Europe (France, Germany, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Poland, Austria, the Netherlands and Denmark), in quite a few American states and in the Dominican Republic.
