Graymont's plant in the small community of Havelock, New Brunswick is the leading supplier of lime and limestone products throughout the Atlantic region market, which includes Canada's Maritime Provinces as well as the State of Maine. The Havelock plant utilizes a Beckenback annular shaft kiln to produce high-quality lime for a varied customer base.

Graymont is constantly seeking ways to add value by leveraging the Company's own resources in combination with other natural resources and economic sectors in a given area. At Havelock, extensive field research led to the successful introduction into the farming community of the first new agricultural liming material in more than 50 years.

It is this type of innovation that helps make Graymont the ag-lime leader in the Atlantic Region.
