Fujairah Cement Industries

What Fujairah Cement Industries does

Fujairah Cement Industries (FCI) is a UAE public joint stock company, incorporated in 1979 and listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange under ticker FCI. It operates the largest cement plant in the UAE, comprising two clinker production lines — Unit-I at 4,600 TPD and Unit-II at 7,500 TPD — for a combined cement capacity of approximately 2.4 million tons per annum and clinker capacity of approximately 4 million tons per annum. Its ownership combines Government of Fujairah, Government of Abu Dhabi, and the Islamic Development Bank as the principal shareholders.

The core product portfolio spans Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Sulfate-Resistant Cement (SRC), and Moderate Sulfate-Resistant Cement (MSRC), alongside clinker for downstream and export customers. Production is supported by a 40 MW captive thermal power plant (commissioned 2010) and a 12 MW waste heat recovery plant (commissioned 2015), which together deliver roughly half of the site's electricity demand from in-house sources. The principal end markets are UAE construction and infrastructure projects, with additional export distribution across the GCC, wider Middle East, Africa, and South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka).

The business model is industrial and volume-driven: FCI sells cement through two channels — bulk supply to enterprise customers (ready-mix producers, contractors, infrastructure developers) and bagged cement to mid-market retail and trade customers. Annual turnover is disclosed at over AED 600 million (~$163 million USD), with paid capital of AED 555 million. Recent restructuring (suspension of Ready-Mixed Concrete supplies and permanent closure of the Kuwait office in 2024) signals a portfolio refocusing toward core cement and clinker production.
