Oman: Raysut Cement has said that it will commission its upcoming 1Mt/yr Duqm plant, the country’s first clinker grinding plant, in late 2021. The cost of the project is US$30m. The company’s global capacity target is 10Mt/yr by 2022 and 22Mt/yr ‘in the near future.’ It operates the 3Mt/yr Salalah cement plant in Oman and holds minority stakes in three East African grinding plants.
Support services and business development chief Yousef Ahmed Alawi Alibrahim said “This has been a challenging year for manufacturing industries in general, but RCC has been able to negotiate the hurdles with effective planning focusing on health and safety.”
