Egyptian Cement

What Egyptian Cement does

Egyptian Cement is a privately held Egyptian cement manufacturer founded in 2016 by Chairman Ahmed Abou Hashima. The company operates a greenfield dry-process cement plant in Sohag Governorate (Upper Egypt), established on approximately one million square meters and built in partnership with China's Sinoma-CDI and a roster of European and Chinese OEMs including Siemens, Schneider Electric, LOESCHE, FLSmidth, IKN, ABB, Hazemag, and Haver & Boecker. The single production line is rated at 6,000 TPD of clinker, designed for 6,500 TPD and targeting 7,000 TPD, equivalent to roughly 2 million tons of gray cement per year. Core technology is a five-stage cyclone pre-heater with a CDC pre-calciner and a latest-generation grate cooler, with fuel flexibility across coal and heavy fuel oil plus alternative-fuel-ready infrastructure.

The product portfolio centers on Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and Sulfate Resistant Cement (SRC), marketed under five brands: flagship Egyptian Cement OPC and SRC, plus regional sub-brands Nisr Al Saied, El Assiuty, El Sohagy, and Nisr El Masreyeen. Products are sold in bulk, 50kg bags, and jumbo bags and comply with Egyptian Standard 4756-1/2022 and European EN 197-1/2011. A December 2024 enhanced formula targets coastal applications with high soil sulfate content, and an R&D-led 'New Product Coming Soon' SKU is in development. Pricing is regulated, with published maximum ex-works prices around EGP 4,000-4,550 per ton.

Distribution is direct B2B/B2G with a wholly owned transportation fleet delivering to construction companies, contractors, and government projects across Egypt, plus exports under the African Eagle brand aimed at African and neighboring markets. Customers span three verticals: general construction (bridges, tunnels, industrial floors, precast), infrastructure (foundations, sewage works, drainage), and coastal construction. The company is described by leadership as the first nucleus of a larger integrated building materials complex planned for Upper Egypt. Headcount is reported between 250 (direct industry employees cited on the company website) and 1,000+ at the plant, alongside an industry-level figure of 5,000 indirect employees.
