SaqCementi

SaqCementi Ltd was founded in 2004. The company became a HeidelbergCemen group member in 2007 February. The company manages two plants in Kaspi and Rustavi:

History of Kaspi plant:
The big storage of marly limestone, high quality clay, proximity to the railway and water resources became a reason for starting construction of a new cement plant in Kaspi in 1927, thus drafting first page of history of Georgian cement industry.

Kaspi Plant was put into operation in the beginning of 1931 with two rotary kilns having capacity of 9 tones per hour. By that time capacity of the plant was 120 000 tones of clinker and 150 000 tones of cement.

As a result of reconstruction and upgrading works during 1949-1975, the capacity of the plant was increased to 830 000 tones of cement and 647 000 tones of clinker per year.

Second reconstruction-upgrading works were done in 1980-1988 and the volume of cement production became 966 000 tones of cement and 774 000 tones of clinker per year.

Cement production was decreased following the break-up of Soviet Union in 1991; in 1994-1999, production was completely stopped.

In 2000, the plant was privatized and named JSC Kaspicementi.  Plant restoration works took place in the years 2000-2006. This investment was successfully accomplished in 2006 and led to annual production of 571.700 tones of clinker and 402.700 tones of cement. 

History of Rustavi plant:
The works of cement plant construction in Rustavi began in 1952. The first output was attained in 1956. Average annual rated capacity of M-400 type cement was 308.000 tons and of clinker - 616.000 tons.

In 1994, the plant was privatized and named JSC Rustavcementi. In 1995-1996, new electric filters for grinding mills and new cement-packing machine were installed.

Plants history with HeidelbergCement:
Kaspi and Rustavi plants were merged under the common corporate name – SaqCementi Ltd. In February 2007, SaqCementi Ltd entered the HeidelbergCement Group. HeidelbergCement started large investments aiming at technological revamping and capital repairs, thus resulting in production increased up to 1.6 million tones for two SaqCementi plants per year.
