Leading Calcium-Based Solutions from Ancient Legacy to Sustainable Future
A Foundation That Built Civilizations
From Rome’s enduring aqueducts to today’s carbon-conscious economy, lime has quietly powered human progress for millennia. This versatile chemical — strengthening steel, purifying water, enriching soil, and anchoring construction — remains one of civilization’s most essential building blocks. Its applications span critical industries from agriculture to energy production, making it essential to modern life. Graymont, with over 75 years of global leadership in calcium-based solutions, continues this ancient legacy while engineering innovative products that will define tomorrow’s infrastructure.
Essential Products Driving Global Industries
Graymont’s High Calcium Quicklime, High Calcium Hydrated Lime, and High Calcium Limestone form the backbone of modern industry across diverse sectors. Though often invisible in daily life, these products enable everything from glass manufacturing, paper production and water treatment to food processing and sugar refinement. Complemented by dolomitic and specialty blends, Graymont’s portfolio demonstrates both technical mastery and reliable global supply chains that major industries depend on. This breadth of offerings positions Graymont as the trusted partner for calcium-based solutions worldwide.
Innovation Meets Tomorrow’s Necessity
As environmental pressures intensify across industries, they also create significant opportunities for innovation and market leadership. Graymont is redefining how calcium-based solutions can support a decarbonized world by driving innovation to meet these emerging opportunities. Its flagship GRAYBOND™ – a new generation of low-carbon binders delivering traditional strength and reliability with dramatically reduced carbon emissions – exemplifies this innovation. Graymont’s partnership with Fortera to commercialize ReAct™, a novel low-carbon cementitious solution (LCCS), further accelerates the deployment of breakthrough low-carbon cement technology. Proven successful in demanding applications such as soil stabilization and mining backfill, these sustainable building solutions help customers decarbonize their supply chain without compromising performance, reinforcing the company’s role as a catalyst for change across global manufacturing networks.
Innovation with Responsibility
Graymont’s leadership extends beyond product innovation to meaningful community and environmental impact. Past initiatives include a novel initiative that provided access to ore while creating the acclaimed Bedford Heritage Park in Quebec and centralizing kiln operations with remote operations centers which applied a science-based approach to lime production which results in reduced carbon emissions.
Shaping Tomorrow’s Sustainable Infrastructure
The global transition to a decarbonized economy requires reliable partners with proven expertise and unwavering commitment to innovation. By strategically combining the established essential nature of High Calcium Quicklime, Hydrated Lime, and Limestone with innovations like low-carbon binders such as GRAYBOND™, and the partnership with Fortera to produce the LCCS ReAct™, Graymont ensures calcium-based solutions remain both essential to modern industrial life and instrumental in building a lower-carbon future. With more than 75 years of trusted partnerships and a growing global reach, Graymont is helping shape the evolution toward sustainable infrastructure — ensuring that calcium-based solutions remain essential to both industry and the planet’s future.
