HeidelbergCement Georgia reports that they have carried out the full modernisation of the Kaspi Cement plant and have opened a new 1Mta production line.

Preparatory works for the plant's modernisation project were launched in September 2016, with a US$100m investment in the project. The project was implemented with support from the Georgian Co-Investment Fund and Honeywell Partners.

Within the project, a high-standard filtration system and special equipment for continuous emission control were installed to allow for online monitoring of the plant's dust and emission volumes.

Mamuka Bakhtadze, the Georgian Prime Minister, stated: "Kaspi has great cement manufacturing traditions, and I am happy that we are opening this modern line of production. Cement manufacturing has always been a traditional industry in Georgia, and we need new technologies to further the sector's competitiveness."
