Business Wire India The strategic partnership's objective is to drive the commercialization of a novel low-carbon cement and support the decarbonization of key industries, including building and construction The agreement will leverage Fortera's carbon mineralization technology with Graymont's calcium-based solutions expertise and its global industrial network Graymont and Fortera announced they have signed a strategic partnership agreement providing the framework to produce Fortera's ReAct™ low-carbon cement by leveraging Graymont's existing lime production operations and its innovations in sustainable building materials. The partnership reflects years of product testing, design validation, and collaboration between the two companies. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: The strategic partnership draws on Graymont's global network of manufacturing infrastructure and supply chain to accelerate the deployment of Fortera's technology. The low-carbon cement developed through this partnership is intended for use in all areas where traditional cement is utilized, including infrastructure and construction, as well as industrial processes, without compromising on durability or regulatory compliance. Fortera's ReAct™ low-carbon cement has already undergone over a decade of real-world validation and will now be available at industrial production volumes. 'What stood out to us about Fortera is that they're not trying to reinvent the cement industry. Rather, they're working to innovate on the infrastructure we already have,' said Stéphane Godin, President and CEO at Graymont. 'We've spent more than 75 years building a global calcium solutions business, and this partnership allows us to continue to lead the way in innovative and sustainable products for our customers.' "Graymont is a global leader, and their decision to partner with us is a strong endorsement for Fortera's technology," said Ryan Gilliam, CEO of Fortera. "From day one, the collaboration with the Graymont team has been instrumental in shaping the commercial design of our plants, from scalability to reliable operations, and in expanding our product opportunities. Together, we're showing that it's possible to cut cement emissions in an economic way." Fortera's ReAct™ combined with its ReCarb® technology will enable Graymont to expand its production of low-carbon cementitious solutions by reusing CO 2 without significant changes to its facilities or operations, a factor that has traditionally limited the rollout of new technologies. Fortera is now operating a 15,000-ton-per-year ReCarb® flagship facility in Redding, California. The plant represents a proven bolt-on deployment model that works within existing cement and lime infrastructure, utilizing Fortera's ReCarb® process for the production and distribution of low-carbon cement.

Fortera's Redding Green Cement Plant Achieves ISO 9001:2015 Certification
The Redding ReCarb® Plant meets the global standard for quality management systems, validating the company's rigorous, performance-driven approach to operational excellence. Fortera's accomplishment sets the benchmark for future plants, as the company scales to meet growing demand for low-carbon cement and concrete solutions. REDDING, Calif., May 21, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--To meet the highest quality standards and ensure customer satisfaction, green cement manufacturer Fortera has achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification. This internationally recognized benchmark establishes protocols for quality management systems, ensuring the consistent delivery of products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. The certification applies to Fortera's ReCarb Plant in Redding, California, which produces 15,000 tons of ReAct™ low-carbon cement annually. "Obtaining ISO certification reflects our team's dedication to quality, transparency, and continuous improvement," said Ryan Gilliam, CEO of Fortera. "This certification not only validates our processes, but it also indicates that we're serious about doing things the right way. As an organization, we're capable of managing complex processes with discipline and foresight, which is incredibly important as we scale our operations." The ISO 9001:2015 certification process required a rigorous, months-long effort involving the entire Fortera team, from documenting standard operating procedures to implementing systematic internal audits and responding to third-party feedback. Fortera's structured approach utilized root-cause analysis, cross-functional reviews, and real-time customer feedback to continuously refine systems and enhance product performance, ensuring full compliance with the standard's demanding requirements. "Quality is not a one-time achievement, but a continuous commitment embedded in our core values and reflected in everything we do," said Jorge Duque, Director of Quality and Performance at Fortera. "The ISO certification is a critical signal that Fortera is not only producing a technically sound product, but doing so under a robust, validated quality framework. Our customers can trust that our cement has been rigorously tested and manufactured using repeatable, traceable, and high-integrity processes." While this certification is specific to the Redding ReCarb facility, it sets the standard for expanding ISO 9001:2015 certification across its future manufacturing footprint, ensuring consistent quality and performance as it scales to meet the rising demand for low-carbon cement and concrete solutions. Fortera's recent projects include taking part in the renovation of a historic power plant at the University of California, Berkeley, partnering with Webcor and Central Concrete to provide a low-clinker mix containing ReAct and slag, reducing the carbon footprint of the site without compromising performance. In March, Fortera also completed its largest project at Simpson University in Redding, California, where ReAct Blend cement was used in the concrete mix—enough to fill 59 concrete mixers—for the footings, slab, and columns of the new Business, Technology, and Engineering Building. Following the successful opening of Fortera's commercial green cement plant last year and the real-world implementation of its product, the company was named one of the top 100 sustainability startups to watch in 2025 by Change 100.
