• • Capacity and lines of production

This plant was established in 1969 and its first unit with nominal capacity of clinker production equal to 3500 ton/day and the second unit with nominal capacity of clinker production equal to 4000 ton/day and have been in operation since 1971 and 1977, respectively.

The first unit was optimized to have a nominal capacity equal to 8500 ton/day on the second half of 2009. Therefore this company, with the production capacity equal to 13000 ton/day, is one of the biggest cement factories in Iran, presently.

• • Upgradation and capacity Enhancement

Abyek cement co., in order to meet the demands of the market and also increasing the production capacity of the country as well as export to other countries, has optimized the first line of production and established a new line of production(no.3). production capacity enhancement of the first line, as the biggest cement capacity enhancement project in Iran and worldwide, from initial capacity of 3500 ton/day to the ultimate capacity of 8500 ton/day, has been completed in the second half of 2009. Also Production line no.3 with the capacity of 3500 ton/day is under installation. In the early future, this company, with the capability to produce 21000 tons of clinker per day and more than 22000 tons of cement per day,will be the biggest cement producing company in Iran and the middle east.
