Uzbekistan: Czech Republic-based PSP Engineering will build the Jizzakh cement plant for local company Jizzakh Avantage Plus, with an investment of US$183m, according to Forbes Czech Republic. The turnkey project is scheduled for completion at the start of 2028.
The plant will have a production capacity of 1Mt/yr, covering about 5% of Uzbekistan’s annual cement output once operational. Turkish company SanDeks is participating as a strategic partner, while selected Czech companies will contribute to the supply chain. The project is reportedly financed by an international investment fund. Jaroslav Koutňák, technical director and board member of PSP Engineering, said the Jizzakh Avantage Plus plant represents the company’s largest project in Central Asia and the Middle East.
