What Misr Cement Group does

Misr Cement Group is an Egypt-based integrated cement and building materials manufacturer, founded in 1999 and headquartered in Nasr City, Cairo. The group is organized around four wholly-owned subsidiaries — Misr Cement Qena (listed on the Egyptian Exchange since May 24, 2000 under ticker MCQE.CA), Misr Cement Minya, Misr Cement Beton, and Misr Cement Maintenance (established 2018) — and operates with approximately 1,000 employees. Its production footprint consists of two integrated cement plants in Minya (2.2 million tons per year / 6,000 tons clinker per day) and Qena (2.0 million tons per year), complemented by nine ready-mix concrete stations concentrated in central and Upper Egypt, for an aggregate annual cement capacity of roughly 4 million tons.

The group's core technology stack is European cement production equipment and process know-how supplied by FLSmidth & Co., a global leader in sustainable cement productivity solutions. Its product portfolio spans seven cement variants — Portland CEM I 42.5 N, Portland Pozzolanic CEM II/A-P 42.5 N, Portland Sulphate-Resisting CEM I 42.5 N SR, Portland Pozzolanic Sulphate-Resisting CEM IV(A-P) 42.5 SR, Portland Cement Clinker C3S ≥ 60%, Sulphate-Resisting Clinker C3A ≤ 5%, and High Blast Furnace Slag CEM III — together with clinker products and customizable ready-mix concrete produced at mobile batch plants installed on customer sites. Manufacturing is governed by ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 18001 certifications, plus CE Mark compliance for export-grade product, with quality control supplemented by third-party laboratory testing.

Revenue is generated primarily through B2B direct sales and a distribution network covering all of Egypt's governorates, with additional regional exports to Sudan and other African markets via the Qena plant's proximity (180 km) to Safaga Port. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales targeting large construction contractors (Arab Contractors, Petrojet, Orascom), real estate developers, and government/public-sector infrastructure projects such as the Toshka Canal lining, the Armed Forces Hotel in Aswan, the 810-unit Naga Hamadi social housing project, the Samalloot highway, and the Zohr gas field. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per project volume and delivery location, with no publicly disclosed price list. The ready-mix concrete segment (Misr Cement Beton) adds a long tail of smaller-volume customers including real estate developers and individual homeowners. The shareholder register is institutionally concentrated, with the top shareholders holding 90.72% as of June 30, 2026, led by Mohamed Ashraf Omar Omar (17.95%), the Egyptian Federation for Construction & Building Contractors (15.01%), Beni Suef Cement Company (13.00%), and other institutional investors.

Products and services

• Portland Cement CEM I 42.5 N Versatile cement for all construction purposes including plain and reinforced concrete works across building types and infrastructure projects such as roads and bridges. For construction companies, contractors, and infrastructure developers.
• Portland Pozzolanic Cement CEM II / A-P 42.5 N Cement that improves workability, strength, durability, and chemical resistance of concrete by replacing part of the clinker with pozzolanic materials, reducing CO2 emissions while enhancing cement properties and cost efficiency. For construction firms seeking more sustainable cement options.
• Portland Sulfate Resisting Cement CEM I 42.5 N SR Cement designed to improve durability of concrete and reduce structural deterioration in environments exposed to sulphate attacks such as foundations, sanitation works, sewage pipeline treatment and rehabilitation, and agricultural and industrial applications. For infrastructure, sanitation, and agricultural/industrial construction projects.
• Portland Pozzolanic Sulfate Resisting Cement CEM IV(A-P) 42.5 SR Cement that improves workability, strength, durability, and chemical resistance of concrete, providing resilience to varying conditions including sulfate exposure. For construction projects in challenging environmental conditions.
• Portland Cement Clinker (C3S ≥ 60%) Main component of Portland cement types accounting for 65% to 95% of Portland cement weight, produced in cement kiln burning of a mixture of Limestone (CaCO3) and clay materials at 1450°C. For cement processors and industrial users requiring clinker as an input.
• Portland Sulphate Resisting Clinker (C3A ≤ 5%) Main component of Portland sulfate resisting cement types accounting for 80% to 95% of cement weight, produced from Limestone (CaCO3) and clay materials with high ferrate content at 1450°C. For cement processors producing sulfate-resisting cement.
• High Blast Furnace Slag Cement CEM III Advanced Portland cement modified by substitution of a major ratio of clinker with high blast furnace slag (GGBS), a byproduct of steel industry production, to improve durability properties of concrete. For construction projects requiring enhanced durability and sustainability.
• Ready Mix Concrete Customizable concrete products where the ratio and quantities of cement, aggregate, water, and additives are adapted to project specifications. Produced using mobile batch plants installed at construction sites for accuracy and efficiency, and delivered via modern truck mixers and pumps. For construction companies, real estate developers, and individual homeowners.
