FLSmidth cemented its success 123 years ago
Clipped to the Drawing Board by Dave Ellery  
In 1885, Danish engineer Poul Larsen traveled from Copenhagen to Coplay to learn about the cement-making process from cutting-edge industry pioneers at the Saylor Cement Co.

Larsen made the three-week trek by ship across the Atlantic Ocean on behalf of his boss, Frederik L. Smidth, a consulting engineer who specialized in designing steam engines and mill machinery -- mostly devices to help in the production of brick and tiles.

Not long after Larsen's trip, his company had a contract to build a cement plant in Sweden and he was made a partner. F.L. Smidth & Co. had a new direction and mission that would carry the business for more than 100 years.
