!!!Zement

Cement: In Austria F. Kink started producing Roman cement in Schwoich 
near Kufstein in 1842. Portland cement, which was especially important 
for the building industry, was first produced in 1856 by A. Kraft in 
Haering (Tyrol), who was granted a privilege for it. Due to the name 
of the site the cement produced there was called "Perlmooser Cement". 
In 1993 there were 13 cement plants in Austria: Loruens (Vorarlberg), 
Vils, Kirchbichl, Eiberg (Tyrol), Gartenau (Salzburg), Wietersdorf 
(Carinthia), Gmunden, Kirchdorf an der Krems (Upper Austria), 
Peggau, Terznei (Styria), Wopfing, Mannersdorf (Lower Austria), and 
Rodaun (Vienna). Cement production amounted to 
1.28 million t in 1950, 4.92 million t in 1970, 
and 4.85 million t in 1993.
