Holcim is expanding into the rapidly growing building materials market in Azerbaijan - decision to build a new kiln line

Holcim, through its Group company Garadagh Cement, has been producing and distributing cement in Azerbaijan since 1999. The Garadagh cement plant is located some 35 kilometers west of the capital, Baku, and its four small kiln units produce around 1.1 million tonnes of cement for the fast growing building materials market. Over the last four years, consumption of cement has increased by more than 65 percent and reached 3.2 million tonnes in 2007. Further strong growth is expected in the coming years as a result of the robust housing construction activities and major public infrastructure projects.
