Belgium: Heidelberg Materials Lixhe (formerly CBR) has applied to expand the Romont quarry towards Kanne
ensuring the Lixhe plant's operations for the next 20 years with an additional 94.75 hectares
This expansion marks the third and final phase
intending to continue marl extraction on Walloon territory
A public inquiry is scheduled from 16 September - 30 October 2024
Director Benoit Gastout said "Based on a recent environmental impact report
we are now requesting the partial revision of the regional plan and an environmental permit for the desired extension
We are very aware of the impact of the quarry on the region
That is why we have been taking various measures for years to ensure that Romont is embedded in the landscape as well as possible and that the fauna and flora are respected because of the rich biodiversity
The priority in all of this remains that we want to live in harmony with the local population.”

Workers at plant in Romont alert authorities to mysterious white powder found in sacks of coffee beans
Swiss police have seized more than 500kg of cocaine from a shipment of coffee beans delivered to a Nespresso plant
alerted authorities to a mysterious white powder found in sacks of coffee beans
Staff at the coffee capsule maker, owned by Swiss food giant Nestlé, “found an undetermined white substance when they unloaded the freshly delivered sacks of coffee beans”, Fribourg police said on Thursday.
Read morePolice analysis determined the substance was cocaine
A search of five shipping containers “delivered the same day by train allowed for the seizure of more than 500kg of this drug,” police added
Police said they set up a large security perimeter around the factory during the operation
which also involved a large contingent of customs officers
The units containing the drugs were isolated
and the substance did not contaminate production at the plant
The initial investigation indicated the shipment originated in Brazil
adding that the seized cocaine was determined to be more than 80% pure
with an estimated street value of over 50m Swiss francs (£41m)
“It appears that all of the drugs were destined for the European market,” police said
Construction has begun on Nespresso’s CHF 160 million (about US$178 million) Romont production centre expansion in Switzerland
with the first stone laid in the second production hall
Nespresso is expanding in response to increasing demand
intended to support long-term international development
“I am delighted that the first stone of our new production hall in Romont has been laid
This foundation illustrates our Swiss and regional roots and symbolises the continued success of Nespresso,” says Guillaume Le Cunff
and it is with great joy that we write a new chapter today
All those involved can be proud of this great adventure.”
production capacity will be doubled to 10 lines that will all be dedicated to the Nespresso’s automatic coffee capsule machines
the Vertuo and the Nespresso Professional coffee ranges
This expansion will create 300 new jobs by 2030 with recruitment for the site already underway
It is estimated that more than 100 workers will be hired by the end of 2021 with the first production lines expected to be operational by June 2022
State Councillor and Vice- President of the Switzerland Government says that this expansion is strong signal of Nespresso’s confidence in the region
“I would like to congratulate Nespresso for the efforts that the company has put in place
barely six years after the construction of the first building,” says Curty
“It’s excellent news for the continuation of our partnership in the years to come.”
The original Romont factory was opened in 2015 and is the main production centre for Nespresso’s Vertuo coffee capsule
and automatic machines that are sold in 24 countries
Nespresso has slowly been expanding its Romont centre with four new production lines
a Product Development Centre and a Coffee Campus being added in 2018
With all Nespresso coffees being produced in Switzerland, Nespresso has already invested CHF 700 million (about US$778 million) into three more swiss-based production centres since 2010
training more than 1300 factory workers over this time
Each Nespresso production centre boosts a ‘zero waste to landfill’ policy with minimal heat and water waste
heat from coffee roasters is recovered and used to pre-heat green coffee within the factory
Excess heat is then distributed to the local community
The Romont production centre was also the first factory in Switzerland
and the first production facility within Switzerland for parent brand Nestlé
to achieve the LEED Gold certification for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design in 2015
This certification will be applied to the extension of the facility and covers energy and water efficiency practices and prioritises employee’s workplace health and wellbeing
Nespresso is an automatic machine manufacturer and producer of coffee capsules and pods created by nutrition

Nespresso opened the CHF 300m ($300m) Romont factory – its third in Switzerland – in 2015. The factory is the primary production site for Nespresso Vertuo, a portioned coffee system delivering various coffee sizes from 40ml to 414ml.
The expansion will create 33 additional jobs over the next two years.
The Vertuo system was launched in North America in 2014 – designed to cater for North American preferences of larger coffees - and has since expanded to a total of 14 markets.
Nespresso CEO: ‘Innovation has always been at the heart of Nespresso’
Nespresso has already invested an additional CHF 48m ($48m USD) to expand production capacity and create the innovation facility – which seeks to ‘bolster Nespresso’s work in innovating sustainable, quality coffee’.
The Product Development Center is dedicated to developing new Nespresso machines and Grand Cru coffees, including coffees from rare origins. Meanwhile, a small-scale production facility enables experimentation with different coffee experiences.
The Coffee Campus functions as a training centre that will continuously raise the level of expertise within the company and among external partners such as chefs.
Jean-Marc Duvoisin, CEO, Nespresso, said: “The new facilities will play a central role in our ability to offer consumers the latest developments in sustainable, high quality coffees and personalized customer service.
“We are proud to continue to invest in our factory in Romont to support our Vertuo business, a strong contributor to our future growth. It is currently available in 14 countries and we continue to expand to new markets each year.”
Nestlé highlights coffee as a ‘strong growth driver’, having seen organic growth over recent years. It says the Romont investment will help it lead in the coffee business.
Nespresso has three production facilities in Switzerland: at Romont, Orbe and Avenches.

GENEVA (AP) — Swiss police say an investigation is underway after workers at a Nespresso warehouse in western Switzerland found 500 kilograms (over 1,100 pounds) of cocaine
as they unloaded coffee beans that had arrived by train
Regional police in Fribourg said late Thursday they were alerted Monday by the company to the discovery at the facility in the town of Romont and immediately set up a “broad security perimeter” around it with a large deployment of officers
Customs and border control agents were called in
WATCH: Belgium authorities are intercepting cocaine, but most makes it into Europe anyway
Early indications were that the shipment turned up in five containers that had arrived by sea from Brazil before being transferred onto a train
“The cocaine seized has an 80% degree of purity and its market value is estimated at more than 50 million francs,” the police said
adding that the stash appeared “destined for the European market.”
the European Union’s law enforcement agency Europol and the European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction reported that cocaine availability in Europe “is probably at an all-time high.”
It said the largest quantities of cocaine are seized in Belgian
but increasing amounts are turning up at ports elsewhere “suggesting that trafficking groups are extending their activities to ports where cocaine interdiction measures may be perceived as less intensive.”
sought to reassure customers that “all our products are safe to consume.”
“We have strict quality controls in place for green coffee arriving at our warehouses right up to the finished product,” the Vevey
Switzerland-based company said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press
“The substance in question did not come into contact with any of our products or production equipment used to make our products.”
Nestle said it could not provide more details because of the ongoing police investigation

In the continuation of Nespresso efforts to reduce the environmental impact of its production centres, the brand’slatest production centre in Romont, has become the first factory in Switzerland to achieve the renowned LEED certification which recognises industrial buildings for their environmental design and efficiency.
LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)– a voluntary certification programme developed by the US-based NGO, Green Building Council (USGBC) – is one of the most rigorous and renowned certifications recognising exceptional environmental quality of buildings.
It not only evaluates the energy- and water-efficiency of a building, it also weighs aspects such as employees’ health and wellbeing at the workplace, and infrastructure for environmentally low-impact mobility.
There are four levels of certification: certified, silver, gold or platinum.
The new Nespresso site in Romont – the third production centre to be built in Switzerland to support growing consumer demand for Nespresso coffee – managed to obtain Gold certification thanks to a number of measures being implemented.
The plant is located right next to an existing railway connection, enabling the supply of raw materials and the distribution of the majority of finished products to be transported by train.
The heat generated by the roasters and air compressors throughout the facility is fully recovered and used to heat the production centre. And as more industrial equipment is added to the site, any surplus heat will be supplied to the local heating network in the city of Romont.
This, combined with the use of LED lighting throughout the building led to an 18% reduction of energy use on site. In addition, 1,330m2 of solar photovoltaic panels were installed on the roof.
Integrating sustainability in the design, construction and operations
“We are proud to obtain the LEED® Gold certification for the Romont production centre. It is a huge achievement for Nespresso. We worked hard to integrate sustainability in the design, construction and operations of the production centre and reduce its environmental impact, ” said Laurent Bovet, Romont construction project manager.
During the facility’s construction phase, 75% of building waste was recycled and 20% of the building materials used were recycled materials. Nespresso also devised a plan to effectively manage rainwater, protect the local vegetation and limit dust while the building works were going on.
Romont was also built to achieve a 45% reduction in overall water consumption, compared to traditional facilities. This has been achieved by using rainwater collected on the roof to service the toilets, and by using low-consumption sanitary systems. It has also cut potable water consumption by 50% through the use of more efficient equipment.
A number of measures have also been taken to encourage employees to adopt more sustainable modes of transport, including a dedicated cycle lane, 75 sheltered parking spaces for bikes and parking spaces for low-emission vehicles.
“By carrying out rigorous monthly monitoring of our energy consumption, we will be able to put in place even more measures to reduce our impacts further,” added Sébastien Foucart, Romont production centre manager.
Romont is the 19th Nestlé factory globally to have achieved the LEED® certification. Nespresso has invested more than 300 million Swiss francs on the construction and development of the new facility at Romont, bringing its total investment in production infrastructure in Switzerland to over 1 billion Swiss francs over the last 12 years.

FOURTH WIN OF THE SEASON In the high-level duel between Philip Egli and Marcel Maurer for daily victories in the Swiss Slalom Championship
Sunday's first games between the Germans and Swiss at the 2018 World Cup attracted worldwide interest [...]
the first games of the German and Swiss teams in the 2018 World Cup attracted worldwide interest on Sunday
it was the duel between Philip Egli and Marcel Maurer for the day's victory at the 48th Romont Slalom
the Zurich driver in the Dallara with the self-developed 16V Opel-based racing engine was 369 thousandths of a second ahead of the Bernese in the modified Tatuus-Renault Midland
they did not quite match their best times in practice in the first race run on the 2910-meter track
Record run despite botched start But they both stepped it up a notch in the final run
Egli thus retained the upper hand by just under half a second and celebrated his fourth victory of the current season on one of his favorite tracks
Philip Egli: "After Marcel was so close behind me in the first run
I was quite amazed when I saw a close 52 time at the finish
last year's winner was also very pleased with himself
although it was not enough for his second win of the season
Marcel Maurer: "Since we had rebuilt the gearshift for Romont
In the first race run I had no grip with a different tire compound
so I switched back to the tires from practice
It's a shame that I lost out so narrowly despite a personal best time under the previous track record
but Philip just really put in a hammer time."
The next duel will take place next Sunday in Chamblon
will certainly get involved with his Tatuus-Honda FM
Third place overall went to Jeremy Noirat in a small TracKing Suzuki ahead of Lukas Eugster in a Formula Renault and Jean-François Chariatte in another TracKing
Furious Martin Bürki When describing Martin Bürki's performance
The facts speak for themselves: never before has the defending champion been so fast in Romont in the summer (2'03.494) - in the fall race (Drognens slalom) he already realized a 02 time
Bürki was thus the fastest touring car driver in the small VW Polo on a track whose first part corresponds to a hill climb with a long acceleration phase and two following hairpins
Closest to him were Albin Mächler in the BMW M2
Manuel Santonastaso in the BMW 320 from Group IS and Christoph Zwahlen in the Opel Kadett C
They all won their fully occupied classes with 05 times
with Zwahlen also benefiting from René Köchli's defect on the Honda Civic
With second place in the E1-2000 in the Suzuki Swift Evo
is also still in the running for a top place in the slalom championship
Fight for the SM podium places After five of eight runs
Bürki and "Santi" are tied at the top of the table with 100 points each
So the battle for the podium places in the championship is still completely open
And because the IS-2000 always has a stronger field than the E1-1600
the defending champions will have to come up with something if they don't want to lose out at the end of the season on the basis of class strength alone
the problem solves itself for one or the other..

The Hitachi excavator is the largest of its kind in Belgium
it’s not only helping to enhance productivity on the 30 hectare site
but is also a key part of the company’s environmental efforts
It is situated along the banks of the Albert Canal supplying raw materials by the nearby quarries of Romont and Loën
with 230 million tonnes of chalk available for extraction
The project is entirely situated on high-quality farmland
The site’s biodiversity is the subject of biological studies and areas of ecological interest are already present and will be partially maintained
The final goal is to restore a landscape of high agricultural quality and richer in natural elements than it was prior to its exploitation as a quarry
Johan Duplessis is one of the EX1900-6 operators and this is the first Hitachi that he has operated during his career
His first impressions are positive: “It is smooth to operate
the controls are user friendly and within easy reach
The loading cycle is fast and this is a powerful piece of equipment for this quarry
I also like the air conditioning in the cab!”
