of the largest heavy industries
companies in Cyprus. It serves its
international customers and imports raw
materials, benefitting from the Vassiliko port,
which is positioned next to the plant. The
company operates in the clinker and cement
production sectors and manages
four quarries for the extraction of raw
materials used in its onsite cement
production. The plant was upgraded in 2011
from 1.115 million tpy to 2 million tpy. This
upgrade led to several significant efficiency
improvements, primarily in terms of reduced
emissions and production costs.
