NOVACIM SA produces first cement at Ouled Ghanem plant

The Ouled Ghanem Cement plant near El Jadida, Morocco, has produced its first cement. NOVACIM SA (formerly known as TEKCIM) has successfully started its new cement works, with FLSmidth providing the facility with its latest equipment, including the first vertical OK™ Mill installed in Morocco.

Upon final commissioning, the plant is expected to produce around 1.4Mta of cement and 1.1Mta of clinker, helping to meet increasing demand for housing and infrastructure projects in Morocco and across Africa, claims FLSmidth.
