NCC started a series of technical and economic studies aiming to convert 2 Cement mills in production lines 3 and 4 to the closed system, to produce cement of grade 42.5R which is directed mainly for export.

NCC elaborated  preliminary studies to develop and modify production capacity of current mills . These preliminary studies proved the feasibility of this development as:

It is less expensive than constructing a new production line

The production capacity modification is carried out within a minimum investments and within NCC' s economic capacity

It resulted in an increase in production capacity which increases NCC' s marketing share in both local and foreign markets

production capacity of developed mills will be increased from 4500 tons / day to 5700 tons / day for each line i.e. 11,400 tons / day for both lines 3 and 4.

the Consultant firm (Price Water House Coopers) is currently elaborating a detailed financial, technical and marketing study for the project to get the approval to start project implementation.

Serious studies are currently under development for operating the new gypsum factory after completing the necessary modifications.
