UAE: The Fujairah Natural Resources Corporation (FNRC) and JSW Cement have signed a contract to build a new cement grinding unit in Al Tawyeen with a production capacity of 1.65Mt/yr. The project will take place over a period of approximately 15 months and will reportedly help to meet growing market demand and enhance production efficiency through locally produced clinker. The expansion project comes in response to a growing demand for cement in the UAE and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, alongside urban growth and the expansion of infrastructure and construction projects.
