Eurocement begins construction of 3Mta facility

Eurocement Group has started the construction of its new 3Mta facility in Uzbekistan. The plant is expected to begin operations in mid-2020 and will represent an US$160m investment.

“This production will become the flagship of the cement industry and a powerful support for the growth of the economy of Uzbekistan,” said Mikhail Skorokhod, president of Eurocement Group.

Once complete it will become the largest plant in central Asia, according to UzDaily. The commencement of construction is the result of agreements reached between the company and Uzstroymaterialy JSC a year ago.
