Arabian Cement Company (ACC) was founded in 1997 by a group of Egyptian shareholders. ACC was established with the aim of building a cement plant with a capacity of 2.5 MTA producing grey cement for the local Egyptian market. However, due to market conditions, the project was halted for a while until September 2004, when the Spanish cement group Cementos La Union, decided to invest in ACC, resuming ACC’s activities.

 

Cementos La Union acquired the majority of shares in ACC, in order to increase its capital, bringing technical experts and advances to develop the plant.

 

From that time forward, ACC started its path towards success. Moreover, in 2006 an important milestone was achieved by concluding a contract with the well known multinational engineering Co: FLSmidth. The contract was concluded to construct the targeted clinker Greenfield plant.

 

In 2008, after constructing the plant, and putting together an experienced management team, ACC board of directors decided to expand the plant by developing a second production line; aiming at increasing the production capacity of the plant.

 

Now, ACC has a production capacity of 5 million tons per year, producing high quality cement for the local and international markets.
