The Baziyan Cement plant is situated thirty kilometers away from Sulaimaniyah. It has been in operation since mid-2008 and has an annual production capacity of 2.5 million tons of cement It is equipped with the latest technology and meets the latest environmental standards in the world. It is partly powered by a "captive" electricity station next to the plant.
The Tasluja cement plant was originally built in 1985 and was the largest cement plant in northern Iraq. The plant has two dry process production lines supplied by ThyssenKrupp Polysius which have a designed production capacity of 2.3 million tons annually. The rehabilitation of both Lines I and II was completed in March 2007 and has been fully operational since then.
As such, the Bazian and Tasluja plants (about 30 kilometers away from one another) will enable us to respond to the strong demand for building materials in the Iraqi market, in a country going through the process of reconstruction where the requirement for cement is increasing by 15% per year. We seek to assist these efforts by supplying quality materials for the construction of housing and infrastructure. In Iraq today, one ton of cement in every four comes from our plants.
