The third plant of the General Company for Cement and Building Materials “Hama Cement” has begun trial operation early this month, after maintenance and rehabilitation works carried out by the Iraqi company Al-Khala, a subsidiary of Nahdat Al-Mashriq Holding, under a 25-year investment contract.
Plant manager Eng. Abdul Basit Ahmed Abdul Muttalib said the plant had been out of production since 2024, in need of maintenance, rehabilitation and imported spare parts, and that current actual capacity is about 3,300 tonnes of clinker per day, in line with design capacity.
The plan targets raising output to 5,000 tonnes per day, then building a new plant with a capacity of 6,000 tonnes, bringing total capacity to about 11,000 tonnes of clinker per day, helping meet the needs of the construction and reconstruction sector and reduce imports.
The investment contract also covers rehabilitating the workforce and raising staff efficiency through specialised training courses keeping pace with the technology used, as part of restarting idle industrial facilities and supporting national production.
