Uzbekistan’s Akhangarantsement sets monthly shipment record

Uzbek cement producer Akhangarantsement produced 1.1Mta, up 29 per cent YoY, in the first seven months of 2019.

In July 2019 the company delivered 190,349t of cement, representing a rise of 34 per cent when compared with July 2018 and setting a new record.

The growth in output is supported by the plant’s quarry, which mined more than 1Mt of limestone. The rise in quarry output confirm the reliability and efficiency of new mining equipment. The cement plant purchased Shacman dump trucks earlier this year as part of an investment programme to upgrade the mining fleet.
