CR Minerals announces new manufacturing facility on Pueblo
PUEBLO – CR Minerals is a leading worldwide producer of high quality pumice products, based in New Mexico. They have a range of applications including an additive in cement for stone veneer, concrete block, landscape rock and other uses in the construction industry.

The CR Minerals facility is located at the St. Charles Industrial Park.

Approximately $11.0 million in capital investment
8 new full-time jobs to be in place by May 26, 2023.

We were extremely pleased that the City of Pueblo stepped up to assist us with this expansion as we considered other states for this investment.

The benefits that stem from the city’s 1/2 cent sales tax has additionally created an economically stimulating environment in which incentives have been provided to keep our business expanding and create an additional base for future growth. And last, but certainly not least, is the people of Pueblo where we will be able to draw from a strong employment base and gain employees that will help us not only succeed but thrive and grow.” In summary, Dvorak says, “In short, the expansion of our current facility and location for CR Minerals represents an extremely important step for the growth of our company and we couldn’t envision it being situated in a better location than the City of Pueblo.”
