Why was the Edison Portland Cement Company started?

The Edison Portland Cement Company was started by Edison in 1899. It was established to make use of Edison’s process and patents for manufacturing cement in the U.S. and Canada. The manufacturing was done at the mill at Stewartsville, New Jersey, and the company had sales offices at several places.

The Edison Portland Cement Company stopped functioning in December 1931, and the Edison Cement Corporation took its place.
