SnapshotSGI’s Kremlin Plant has existed as a mining operation to support the roofing industry for 85 years.

The Kremlin facility contains an open pit quarry that mines meta-andesite rock to produce raw granule feedstock. These raw granules are then converted into semi-ceramic coated colored roofing granules before being shipped to roofing customers’ facilities across the Midwest United States.

Over the last several years the Kremlin site has increased its focus on quarry development to expose long-term rock reserves.
